bpf: test_run: Fix ctx leak in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp error path

Fix a memory leak in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() where the context buffer
allocated by bpf_ctx_init() is not freed when the function returns early
due to a data size check.

On the failing path:
ctx = bpf_ctx_init(...);
if (kattr->test.data_size_in - meta_sz < ETH_HLEN)
return -EINVAL;

The early return bypasses the cleanup label that kfree()s ctx, leading to a
leak detectable by kmemleak under fuzzing. Change the return to jump to the
existing free_ctx label.
