[PATCH] erofs-utils: lib: fix fd leak in erofs_metamgr_init()

In erofs_metamgr_init(), erofs_tmpfile() returns a file
descriptor stored in m2gr->vf.fd. If the subsequent
erofs_buffer_init() call fails, the function returns -ENOMEM
without closing this file descriptor.
The caller erofs_metadata_init() handles this failure at
err_free, which only frees the m2gr struct. The fd is
therefore leaked with no remaining reference to close it.
The success path correctly cleans up via erofs_metamgr_exit(),
which calls erofs_io_close(&m2gr->vf). Mirror that behaviour
on the error path by closing the fd before returning.
