f2fs: fix to avoid memory leak in f2fs_rename()

syzbot reported a f2fs bug as below:

BUG: memory leak
unreferenced object 0xffff888127f70830 (size 16):

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.
