[PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix releasing action handle flush memory

The memory of the indirect action handles should be freed after
being destroyed in the flush. The behavior needs to be consistent
with the single handle destroy port_action_handle_destroy().

Or else, there would be some memory leak when closing / detaching a
port without quitting the application. In the meanwhile, since the
action handles are already destroyed, it makes no sense to hold the
indirect action software resources anymore.
