[PATCH v2] xfrm: fix memory leak in xfrm_add_acquire()

[Zilin Guan]

The xfrm_add_acquire() function constructs an xfrm policy by calling
xfrm_policy_construct(). This allocates the policy structure and
potentially associates a security context and a device policy with it.

However, at the end of the function, the policy object is freed using
only kfree() . This skips the necessary cleanup for the security context
and device policy, leading to a memory leak.

To fix this, invoke the proper cleanup functions xfrm_dev_policy_delete(),
xfrm_dev_policy_free(), and security_xfrm_policy_free() before freeing the
policy object. This approach mirrors the error handling path in
xfrm_add_policy(), ensuring that all associated resources are correctly
released.
