fix double free in grub_net_recv_tcp_packet

Browse source 
Using the http module to download config files, produces memory errors,
after the config file is downloaded.

The error was traced to the tcp stack in grub-core/net/tcp.c. The wrong
netbuff pointer was being freed in the clean up loop.

Changing the code to free the correct netbuff pointer removes the runtime
error.

Closes 42765.
