Subject: ipv4: Fix memory leak in exception case for splitting tries
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 3114cdfe66c156345b0ae34e2990472f277e0c1b upstream.
Fix a small memory leak that can occur where we leak a fib_alias in the
event of us not being able to insert it into the local table.
Fixes: 0ddcf43d5d4a0 ("ipv4: FIB Local/MAIN table collapse")
