There is a new metadata dst type field added in "net: store
port/representator id in metadata_dst", but metadata_dst_free() wasn't
updated to check it before freeing the METADATA_IP_TUNNEL specific dst
cache entry.

This is not currently causing problems since it's far enough back in the
struct to be zeroed for the only other type currently in existance
(METADATA_HW_PORT_MUX), but nevertheless it's not correct.
