[PATCH v4 07/17] bpf: fix free mismatch if convert fails

If conversion of cBF to eBPF fails then an object allocated with
rte_malloc() would be passed to free().

[908/3201] Compiling C object lib/librte_bpf.a.p/bpf_bpf_convert.c.o
../lib/bpf/bpf_convert.c: In function ‘rte_bpf_convert’:
../lib/bpf/bpf_convert.c:559:17: warning: ‘free’ called on pointer returned from a mismatched allocation function [-Wmismatched-dealloc]
  559 |                 free(prm);
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~
../lib/bpf/bpf_convert.c:545:15: note: returned from ‘rte_zmalloc’
  545 |         prm = rte_zmalloc("bpf_filter",
      |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  546 |                           sizeof(*prm) + ebpf_len * sizeof(*ebpf), 0);
      |                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
