Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: current group_info should be put after using.

There is a memory leak in ping. Current group_info had been got in 
ping_init_sock and group_info->usage increased. 
But the usage hasn't decreased anywhere in ping.
This will make this group_info never freed and cause memory leak.
