[PATCH v1 4/7] net/iavf: fix flow subscription metadata leaks

Flow subscription parsing allocates metadata for create and validate.
The create callback leaks it when rule allocation or subscription fails,
and the validate callback never frees it.
Release the metadata on both create failure paths and after validation.
Fixes: 7b902af49947 ("net/iavf: support flow subscription rule")
