    ms/netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak if expr init fails
    
    If expr init fails then we need to free it.
    
    So when the user add a nft rule as follows:
    
      # nft add rule filter input tcp dport 22 flow table ssh \
        { ip saddr limit rate 0/second }
    
    memory leak will happen.
