MIPS: Fix memory leak in error path of HI16/LO16 relocation handling.
Commit 6f5d2e970452b5c86906adcb8e7ad246f535ba39 (lmo) /
477c4b07406357ad93d0e32788dbf3ee814eadaa (kernel.org) [[MIPS: VPE: Free
relocation chain on error.] fixed the same issue in the vpe loader in 2009
but back then the same bug in module.c went unfixed.
