[PATCH] app/crypto-perf: fix test file memory leak

[PATCH] app/crypto-perf: fix test file memory leak

[Ciara Power]

A memory leak was detected using the AddressSanitizer tool,
when running the crypto-perf application with a test vector file.

The strdup function used returns a pointer to a null-terminated byte
string, which must be freed after use. This patch frees the pointer in
an error case, and also after a successful run.
