    xen/domctl: Fix double domid_free in XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain error path
    
    Remove redundant domid_free() call in the XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain error
    handling path to prevent a double-free condition.
    
    When domain_create() fails, it internally calls _domain_destroy() during
    its cleanup routine, which already invokes domid_free() to release the
    allocated domain ID. The additional domid_free() call in the domctl error
    path creates a double-free scenario, triggering an assertion failure in
    domid.c:
    
        Assertion 'rc' failed at common/domid.c:84
    
    The domain creation flow is:
    1. domid_alloc() allocates a domain ID
    2. domain_create() is called with the allocated ID
    3. If domain_create() fails:
       a) domain_create() calls _domain_destroy() internally
       b) _domain_destroy() calls domid_free() to release the ID
       c) domctl incorrectly calls domid_free() again
    
    This double-free violates the domain ID management invariants and causes
    system instability. The fix ensures domid_free() is called exactly once
    per allocated domain ID, maintaining proper resource cleanup
    semantics.
