openvswitch: fix memory leak at failed datapath creation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

openvswitch: fix memory leak at failed datapath creation

ovs_dp_cmd_new()->ovs_dp_change()->ovs_dp_set_upcall_portids()
allocates array via kmalloc.
If for some reason new_vport() fails during ovs_dp_cmd_new()
dp->upcall_portids must be freed.
Add missing kfree.

Kmemleak example:
unreferenced object 0xffff88800c382500 (size 64):
  comm "dump_state", pid 323, jiffies 4294955418 (age 104.347s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
