    fs/ntfs3: Fix memory leak if ntfs_read_mft failed

    Label ATTR_ROOT in ntfs_read_mft() sets is_root = true and
    ni->ni_flags |= NI_FLAG_DIR, then next attr will goto label ATTR_ALLOC
    and alloc ni->dir.alloc_run. However two states are not always
    consistent and can make memory leak.

     1) attr_name in ATTR_ROOT does not fit the condition it will set
     is_root = true but NI_FLAG_DIR is not set.
     2) next attr_name in ATTR_ALLOC fits the condition and alloc
     ni->dir.alloc_run
     3) in cleanup function ni_clear(), when NI_FLAG_DIR is set, it frees
     ni->dir.alloc_run, otherwise it frees ni->file.run
     4) because NI_FLAG_DIR is not set in this case, ni->dir.alloc_run is
     leaked as kmemleak reported:

    unreferenced object 0xffff888003bc5480 (size 64):

    Fix this by always setting is_root and NI_FLAG_DIR together.
