In tcp_mmap.c, both child_thread() and main() allocate an EVP_MD_CTX
via EVP_MD_CTX_new() when integrity checking is enabled, but neither
function releases the context. child_thread() misses the free in its
common cleanup block, and main() returns without freeing the context.
This results in a SHA256 context leak on every run that uses the
‑i (integrity) option. Add the missing EVP_MD_CTX_free() calls to
the appropriate cleanup paths to fix the leak.
Fixes: 5c5945dc695c ("selftests/net: Add SHA256 computation over data sent in tcp_mmap")
