net: microchip: vcap api: Fix possible memory leak for vcap_dup_rule()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: microchip: vcap api: Fix possible memory leak for vcap_dup_rule() Inject fault When select CONFIG_VCAP_KUNIT_TEST, the below memory leak occurs. If kzalloc() for duprule succeeds, but the following kmemdup() fails, the duprule, ckf and caf memory will be leaked.
