ovsdb-server: fix memory leak while deleting zone

memory leak was detected by valgrind during execution
of "database commands -- positive checks" test.

leaked memory was allocated in ovsdb_execute_mutate() function
while parsing mutations from the apparent json entity:

This memory is usually freed at the end of ovsdb_execute_mutate()
however in the aforementioned test case this does not happen. Namely
in case of delete mutator and in case of error while calling ovsdb_datum_from_json()
apparent mutation was marked as invalid, what prevents freeing problematic memory.

Memory leak can be reproduced quickly with the following command sequence:
ovs-vsctl --no-wait -vreconnect:emer add-zone-tp netdev zone=1 icmp_first=1 icmp_reply=2
ovs-vsctl --no-wait -vreconnect:emer del-zone-tp netdev zone=1
