[PATCH] mqueue: Prevent memory leak by freeing unused node

[Steven Davis]

Added a check to free the newly allocated node when the node cache is NULL.
This prevents memory leaks by ensuring that memory allocated with kmalloc
is released if it is not being reused from the cache. This change enhances
memory management consistency within the msg_insert function.
