ShellPkg/Shell: eliminate double-free in RunSplitCommand()

Commit bd3fc8133b2b ("ShellPkg/App: Fix memory leak and save resources.",
2016-05-20) added a FreePool() call for Split->SplitStdIn, near end of the
RunSplitCommand(), right after the same shell file was closed with
CloseFile(). The argument was:

> 1) RunSplitCommand() allocates the initial SplitStdOut via
>    CreateFileInterfaceMem(). Free SplitStdIn after the swap to fix
>    the memory leak.

There is no memory leak actually, and the FreePool() call in question
constitutes a double-free:

(a) This is how the handle is established:

    ConvertEfiFileProtocolToShellHandle (
      CreateFileInterfaceMem (Unicode),
      NULL
      );

    CreateFileInterfaceMem() allocates an EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL_MEM object and
    populates it fully. ConvertEfiFileProtocolToShellHandle() allocates
    some administrative structures and links the EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL_MEM
    object into "mFileHandleList".

(b) EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL.CloseFile() is required to close the
    SHELL_FILE_HANDLE and to release all associated data. Accordingly,
    near the end of RunSplitCommand(), we have:

    EfiShellClose()
      ShellFileHandleRemove()
        //
        // undoes the effects of ConvertEfiFileProtocolToShellHandle()
        //
      ConvertShellHandleToEfiFileProtocol()
        //
        // note that this does not adjust the pointer value; it's a pure
        // type cast
        //
      FileHandleClose()
        FileInterfaceMemClose()
          //
          // tears down EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL_MEM completely, undoing the
          // effects of CreateFileInterfaceMem ()
          //

The FreePool() call added by bd3fc8133b2b conflicts with

  SHELL_FREE_NON_NULL(This);

in FileInterfaceMemClose(), so remove it.

This error can be reproduced for example with:

> Shell> map | more
> 'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
> program, or script file.

which triggers:
