There is a memory leak happening in lpm_trie map_free callback
function trie_free. The trie structure itself does not get freed.

Also, trie_free function did not do synchronize_rcu before freeing
various data structures. This is incorrect as some rcu_read_lock
region(s) for lookup, update, delete or get_next_key may not complete yet.
The fix is to add synchronize_rcu in the beginning of trie_free.
The useless spin_lock is removed from this function as well.

Fixes: b95a5c4db09b ("bpf: add a longest prefix match trie map implementation")
