Unix CM: Don't free cell, then release lock on it

If afs_NewCell fails, then we can end up releasing a lock on a
section of memory that we have already freed. As this only happens
if the memory we're operating on is newly allocated and not yet
visible to anyone else, it is safe to release the lock before
starting to tidy things up.
