Subject: selftests/resctrl: Don't leak buffer in fill_cache()

[ Upstream commit 2d320b1029ee7329ee0638181be967789775b962 ]
The error path in fill_cache() does return before the allocated buffer
is freed leaking the buffer.
The leak was introduced when fill_cache_read() started to return errors
in commit c7b607fa9325 ("selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer
dereference on open failed"), before that both fill functions always
returned 0.
Move free() earlier to prevent the mem leak.
Fixes: c7b607fa9325 ("selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer dereference on open failed")
