kmemleak report a memory leak as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff88810a596800 (size 512):
  comm "ip", pid 21558, jiffies 4297568990 (age 112.120s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

'srv' is malloced in tipc_topsrv_start() but not free before
leaving from the error handling cases. We need to free it.

Fixes: 5c45ab24ac77 ("tipc: make struct tipc_server private for server.c")
