Subject: [PATCH v3] net: openvswitch: fix possible memory leak in ovs_meter_cmd_set()

old_meter needs to be free after it is detached regardless of whether
the new meter is successfully attached.

Fixes: c7c4c44c9a95 ("net: openvswitch: expand the meters supported number")
Signed-off-by: Hangyu Hua <[email protected]>

v2: use goto label and free old_meter outside of ovs lock.

v3: add the label and keep the lock in place.
