gsmtap: Add gsmtap_sendmsg_free() as alternative to gsmtap_sendmsg()

gsmtap_sendmsg() places the burden of freeing the msgb in case of
erroneous return codes on the caller.  A review of existing users
shows that this is overly optimistic and many calls get it wrong,
opening up memory leaks.

Let's add a new function gsmtap_sendmsg_free() which behaves like
gsmtap_sendmsg() but always takes ownership: Either it is sent + freed,
or it is just freed.
