Zahari Doychev 41d0c31be2 tools: ynl: call nested attribute free function for indexed arrays
When freeing indexed arrays, the corresponding free function should
be called for each entry of the indexed array. For example, for
for 'struct tc_act_attrs' 'tc_act_attrs_free(...)' needs to be called
for each entry.

Previously, memory leaks were reported when enabling the ASAN
analyzer.

previous version of the code.

 	free(obj->indev);
+	for (i = 0; i < obj->_count.act; i++)
+		tc_act_attrs_free(&obj->act[i]);
 	free(obj->act);
 	free(obj->key_eth_dst);
 	free(obj->key_eth_dst_mask);
