Subject: padata: free correct variable

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <[email protected]>

commit 07a77929ba672d93642a56dc2255dd21e6e2290b upstream.

The author meant to free the variable that was just allocated, instead of the one that failed to be allocated, but made a simple typo. This patch rectifies that.
