BUG: memory leak
unreferenced object 0xffff888127f70830 (size 16):
  comm "syz.0.23", pid 6144, jiffies 4294943712

The root cause is in commit 40b2d55e0452 ("f2fs: fix to create selinux
label during whiteout initialization"), we added a call to
f2fs_setup_filename() without a matching call to f2fs_free_filename(),
fix it.
