Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] amt: fix memory leak for advertisement message

When a gateway receives an advertisement message, it extracts relay
information and then it should be freed.
But the advertisement handler doesn't free it.
So, memory leak would occur.

Fixes: cbc21dc1cfe9 ("amt: add data plane of amt interface")

v3:
 - Update git log message.
