Syzkaller reports a memory leak of new_flow in ovs_flow_cmd_new() as it is
not freed when an allocation of a key fails.

BUG: memory leak

To fix this the patch removes unnecessary err_kfree_key label and adds a
proper goto statement on the key-allocation-error path.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
