[Impact]
In the Linux kernel before 6.1.13, there is a double free in
net/mpls/af_mpls.c upon an allocation failure (for registering the sysctl table
under a new location) during the renaming of a device.

[Fix]
Clean cherry-pick from upstream.

[Test case]
Boot and basic frame TX/RX tested using Etherate (MT) MPLS Testing Tool.

[Potential regression]
Low. Only empties a pointer and adds a null check for it.
