I think this commit message should be more descriptive, and is missing Cc:

Is there a reason for the above changes? I think they are unrelated to
the memory leak this patch is fixing.

This does fix the resource leak, but I do think it can be done in a
simpler way, as shown in the patch I sent to fix the logged coverity issue
for this: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/78052/
I will remove my patch seeing as this patch is fixing the same thing.
Thanks,
Ciara
