Fix memory leaks by adding missing free() calls before early return…

…s in `MQTT::onReceive` (#5439)

This fix addresses memory leaks in the `MQTT::onReceive` function by ensuring that dynamically allocated resources (`e.channel_id`, `e.gateway_id` and `e.packet`) are properly freed before each early return. Previously, these resources were only freed at the end of the function, leaving them unhandled in certain exit paths. Adding the missing `free()` calls prevents memory leaks and ensures proper resource cleanup in all scenarios.
