vlan: fix memory leak in vlan_newlink()
[ Upstream commit 72a0b329114b1caa8e69dfa7cdad1dd3c69b8602 ]
Blamed commit added back a bug I fixed in commit 9bbd917e0bec
("vlan: fix memory leak in vlan_dev_set_egress_priority")
If a memory allocation fails in vlan_changelink() after other allocations
succeeded, we need to call vlan_dev_free_egress_priority()
to free all allocated memory because after a failed ->newlink()
we do not call any methods like ndo_uninit() or dev->priv_destructor().
In following example, if the allocation for last element 2000:2001 fails,
we need to free eight prior allocations:
ip link add link dummy0 dummy0.100 type vlan id 100 \
egress-qos-map 1:2 2:3 3:4 4:5 5:6 6:7 7:8 8:9 2000:2001
