This patch fixes a memory leak in the commands for DPIF and MFEX
get and set. In order to operate the commands require a pmd_list,
which is currently not freed after it has been used. This issue
was identified by a static analysis tool.

Fixes: 3d8f47bc ("dpif-netdev: Add command line and function pointer for 
miniflow extract")
Fixes: abb807e2 ("dpif-netdev: Add command to switch dpif implementation.")

Maintainers; these mem leaks were introduced in this release,
so are not candidates for backporting.
