cp: don't leak resources for each xattr preservation failure
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't return from the function after an
unsuccessful and required preservation of extended attributes.
This resulted in leaking the copy buffer and file descriptors.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.
The bug was introduced in coreutils-7.1 via commit 0889381c, 2009-01-23,
"cp/mv: add xattr support".
