af_unix: Fix memory leak in unix_dgram_sendmsg()

After running the 'sendmsg02' program of Linux Test Project (LTP),
kmemleak reports the following memory leak:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888243866800 (size 2048):

Commit 689c398885cc ("af_unix: Defer sock_put() to clean up path in
unix_dgram_sendmsg().") defers sock_put() in the error handling path.
However, it fails to account for the condition 'msg->msg_namelen != 0',
resulting in a memory leak when the code jumps to the 'lookup' label.

Fix issue by calling sock_put() if 'msg->msg_namelen != 0' is met.

Fixes: 689c398885cc ("af_unix: Defer sock_put() to clean up path in unix_dgram_sendmsg().")
