Subject: [PATCH 5.9 246/255] tipc: fix memory leak in tipc_topsrv_start()

From: Wang Hai <wanghai38@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit fa6882c63621821f73cc806f291208e1c6ea6187 ]

kmemleak report a memory leak as follows:

'srv' is malloced in tipc_topsrv_start() but not free before
leaving from the error handling cases. We need to free it.
