Here are a couple patches to free leaked memory.

First patch is v2 of a Coverity found leak in xfs_dir2_node_removename().

Second patch arose from an eariler leak found by Coverity. In looking
at that patch, Eric noted that it appeared that the transaction's
item list is also leaked if recovery fails. I tested this patch by forcing
errors into the recovery code to verify that the items are now being released.

I will send patches for xfsprogs equivalent.
