trans->conn_alloc() may allocate transport data for every path of a
multipath connection - rds_tcp_conn_alloc() does - which is why the
lost-creation-race exit of __rds_conn_create() loops over all npaths
when it frees the connection it just built. The passive-connection
exit right above it, taken when a loopback parent already has its
c_passive twin, frees only path 0 and leaks the transport data of
paths 1..npaths-1. RDS/TCP loopback is exactly a multipath passive
connection, so this is reachable.
Move the loop into a helper and use it on both exits.
Fixes: 1c5113cf796b ("RDS: Initialize all RDS_MPATH_WORKERS in __rds_conn_create")
