net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: fix memleak in certain XDP cases

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

net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: fix memleak in certain XDP cases

If the XDP program doesn't result in XDP_PASS then we leak the
memory allocated by am65_cpsw_build_skb().

It is pointless to allocate SKB memory before running the XDP
program as we would be wasting CPU cycles for cases other than XDP_PASS.
Move the SKB allocation after evaluating the XDP program result.

This fixes the memleak. A performance boost is seen for XDP_DROP test.

XDP_DROP test:
Before: 460256 rx/s                  0 err/s
After:  784130 rx/s                  0 err/s

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
