Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: add the memory free operation after send_ioctl call fails

The memory is not freed after send_ioctl fails in function do_gtunable and
do_stunable. This will cause memory leaks.

So this patch adds memory free operation after send_ioctl call fails.

Fixes: b717ed22d984 ("ethtool: add support for get/set ethtool_tunable")
