Subject: [PATCH] scripts/dtc: Fix memory leak in check_msg()

When the function check_msg() is called, memory for str is allocated
via xasprintf() and xasprintf_append() (as well as for file_str),
but is not freed anywhere later (although file_str is).

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: c2e7075ca830 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.4.7-57-gf267e674d145")
