Subject: [PATCH 4.19 86/91] staging: fsl-dpaa2/ethsw: fix memory leak of switchdev_work

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit 5555ebbbac822b4fa28db2be15aaf98b3c21af26 upstream.

In the default event case switchdev_work is being leaked because
nothing is queued for work. Fix this by kfree'ing switchdev_work
before returning NOTIFY_DONE.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
Fixes: 44baaa43d7cc ("staging: fsl-dpaa2/ethsw: Add Freescale DPAA2 Ethernet Switch driver")
