Subject: [PATCH v3] {net, IB}/mlx5: Use 'kvfree()' for memory allocated by 'kvzalloc()'

When 'kvzalloc()' is used to allocate memory, 'kvfree()' must be used to
free it.

Fixes: 1cbe6fc86ccfe ("IB/mlx5: Add support for CQE compressing")
Fixes: fed9ce22bf8ae ("net/mlx5: E-Switch, Add API to create vport rx rules")
Fixes: 9efa75254593d ("net/mlx5_core: Introduce access functions to query vport RoCE fields")
Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

v1 -> v2: More places to update have been added to the patch
v2 -> v3: Add Fixes tag

3 patches with one Fixes tag each should probably be better, but honestly, I won't send a v4.
Fill free to split it if needed.
