[ Upstream commit 09f979d1f312627b31d2ee1e46f9692e442610cd ]

In mvpp2_ethtool_cls_rule_ins(), the ethtool_rule is allocated by
ethtool_rx_flow_rule_create(). If the subsequent conversion to flow
type fails, the function jumps to the clean_rule label.

However, the clean_rule label only frees efs, skipping the cleanup
of ethtool_rule, which leads to a memory leak.

Fix this by jumping to the clean_eth_rule label, which properly calls
ethtool_rx_flow_rule_destroy() before freeing efs.

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.
