[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] cfgfile: fix uninitialized variable on load error

Uninitialized scalar variable. Using uninitialized value cfg->sections[curr_section]->num_entries when calling rte_cfgfile_close.
And memory in variables cfg->sections[curr_section], sect->entries[curr_entry] maybe not equal NULL. We must decrement counters curr_section, curr_entry when failed to realloc.

Fixes: eaafbad419bf ("cfgfile: library to interpret config files")
