gfs2: fix memory leaks in gfs2_fill_super error path
Fix two memory leaks in the gfs2_fill_super() error handling path when
transitioning a filesystem to read-write mode fails.
First leak: kthread objects (thread_struct, task_struct, etc.)
When gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails after init_threads() succeeds, the
created kernel threads (logd and quotad) are never destroyed. This
occurs because the fail_per_node label doesn't call
gfs2_destroy_threads().
Second leak: quota bitmap buffer (8192 bytes)
When gfs2_make_fs_rw() fails after gfs2_quota_init() succeeds but
before other operations complete, the allocated quota bitmap is never
freed.
The fix moves thread cleanup to the fail_per_node label to handle all
error paths uniformly. gfs2_destroy_threads() is safe to call
unconditionally as it checks for NULL pointers. Quota cleanup is added
in gfs2_make_fs_rw() to properly handle the withdrawal case where
quota initialization succeeds but the filesystem is then withdrawn.
