net: macvlan: fix memory leaks of macvlan_common_newlink
kmemleak reports memory leaks in macvlan_common_newlink, as follows:

 ip link add link eth0 name .. type macvlan mode source macaddr add
 <MAC-ADDR>

kmemleak reports:

unreferenced object 0xffff8880109bb140 (size 64):

    ...

In the scenario where the macvlan mode is configured as 'source',
macvlan_changelink_sources() will be execured to reconfigure list of
remote source mac addresses, at the same time, if register_netdevice()
return an error, the resource generated by macvlan_changelink_sources()
is not cleaned up.

Using this patch, in the case of an error, it will execute
macvlan_flush_sources() to ensure that the resource is cleaned up.
