Subject: [PATCH 5.10 084/717] ath11k: Handle errors if peer creation fails

From: Alex Dewar <alex.dewar90@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit c134d1f8c436d96b3f62896c630278e3ec001280 ]

ath11k_peer_create() is called without its return value being checked,
meaning errors will be unhandled. Add missing check and, as the mutex is
unconditionally unlocked on leaving this function, simplify the exit
path.

Fixes: 701e48a43e15 ("ath11k: add packet log support for QCA6390")
