Remove redundant tor_free() in command_process_create_cell().

 * FIXES #16823: https://bugs.torproject.org/16823
   If an OP were to send a CREATE_FAST cell to an OR, and that
   CREATE_FAST cell had unparseable key material, then tor_free() would
   be called on the create cell twice.  This fix removes the second
   (conditional on the key material being bad) call to tor_free(), so
   that now the create cell is always freed once, regardless of the status of
   the key material.

   (This isn't actually a double-free bug, since tor_free() sets its
   input to NULL, and has no effect when called with input NULL.)
