bpf: Fix memory leaks in __check_func_call

kmemleak reports this issue:

unreferenced object 0xffff88817139d000 (size 2048):
  comm "test_progs", pid 33246, jiffies 4307381979 (age 45851.820s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

The root case here is: In function prepare_func_exit(), the callee is
not released in the abnormal scenario after "state->curframe--;". To
fix, move "state->curframe--;" to the very bottom of the function,
right when we free callee and reset frame[] pointer to NULL, as Andrii
suggested.

In addition, function __check_func_call() has a similar problem. In
the abnormal scenario before "state->curframe++;", the callee also
should be released by free_func_state().

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
