The convert_pci_address_format() function was leaking memory because
rte_devargs_parse() allocates memory internally via strdup(), but the
function never called rte_devargs_reset() to free it.
Add a cleanup label to ensure rte_devargs_reset() is called on all
return paths.
Fixes: 12c2405989f6 ("app/testpmd: canonicalize short PCI name format")
Fixes: acbff64ea5b1 ("app/testpmd: fix devargs format in port attach")
