gpiolib: fix memory leak in gpiodsetarrayvaluecomplex() on error paths

A drive-by review by Sashiko reports that, after a failed call to gpiochipsetmultiple(), gpiodsetarrayvalue() returns abruptly, bypassing the freeing of possibly alloced bitmaps, potentially leaking memory. It is an unlikely error path, but is possible.

Defer the return code check until after the bitmapfree() block.
