[PATCH v1] erofs-utils: fix memory leaks and allocation issue

This patch addresses 4 memory leaks and 1 allocation issue to
ensure proper cleanup and allocation:

1. Fixed memory leak by freeing sbi->zmgr in z_erofs_compress_exit().
2. Fixed memory leak by freeing inode->chunkindexes in erofs_iput().
3. Fixed incorrect allocation of chunk index array in
   erofs_rebuild_write_blob_index() to ensure correct array allocation
   and avoid out-of-bounds access.
4. Fixed memory leak of struct erofs_blobchunk not being freed by
   calling erofs_blob_exit() in rebuild mode.
5. Fix memory leak by calling erofs_put_super().
   In main(), erofs_read_superblock() is called only to get the block
   size. In erofs_mkfs_rebuild_load_trees(), erofs_read_superblock()
   is called again, causing sbi->devs to be overwritten without being
   released.
