[PATCH net v2] net: microchip: vcap api: Fix possible memory leak in vcap_decode_rule()

[Abdun Nihaal]

The memory allocated for struct vcap_rule_internal, keyfields and
actionfields inside vcap_dup_rule() are not freed in some of the error
paths in vcap_decode_rule(). Fix that by calling vcap_free_rule().

Fixes: 610c32b2ce66 ("net: microchip: vcap: Add vcap_get_rule")

Compile tested only. Issue found using static analysis.

v1->v2:
- Convert the error labels from "err" to "out_err" to avoid confusion
  with the err variable, as suggested by Joe Damato.
