If 'vmbus_establish_gpadl()' fails, the (recv|send)_gpadl will not be
updated and 'hv_uio_cleanup()' in the error handling path will not be
able to free the corresponding buffer.
In such a case, we need to free the buffer explicitly.

Before commit cdfa835c6e5e, the 'vfree' were done unconditionally
in 'hv_uio_cleanup()'.
So, another way for fixing the potential leak is to modify
'hv_uio_cleanup()' and revert to the previous behavior.
I don't know the underlying reason for this change so I don't know which is
the best way to fix this error handling path. Unless there is a specific
reason, changing 'hv_uio_cleanup()' could be better because it would keep
the error handling path of the probe cleaner, IMHO.
