kernel/relay.c: revert "kernel/relay.c: fix potential memory leak"
This reverts commit ba62bafe942b ("kernel/relay.c: fix potential memory leak").
This commit introduced a double free bug, because 'chan' is already
freed by the line:
kref_put(&chan->kref, relay_destroy_channel);
This bug was found by syzkaller, using the BLKTRACESETUP ioctl.
