Let snmp_synch_response deal with PDU freeing

When reading from tables, upon errors the PDUs sent are already
freed by snmp_synch_response since they are right after
snmp_send is called.

This commit syncs collectd's approach with other occurences of
snmp_synch_response calls.

There might be a few corner cases where we leak PDUs, but it
is unclear how to check for those since we would need to
have an indication that snmp_send was never called, which
as far as I can tell is not possible.

The potential for failure in snmp_send is rather low and will
be easily spotted though, since when crafting invalid PDUs
snmp send will constantly fail and since valid configurations
can never leak memory.

This fixes #804
