[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lpm/lpm6: fix missing free of rules_tbl and lpm

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi,
Stephen acked the other LPM patch I had last week (thanks).
There was no feedback to this one so far and none of the two patches is
committed yet.

So I wanted to give this another "ping" for feedback or acceptance.

Thanks in advance,
Christian
