Subject: bridge: mdb: fix leak on complete_info ptr on fail path

From: Eduardo Valentin <eduval@amazon.com>

commit 1bfb159673957644951ab0a8d2aec44b93ddb1ae upstream.

We currently get the following kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800039d9820 (size 32):

This happens when switchdev_port_obj_add() fails. This patch
frees complete_info object in the fail path.
