Subject: [PATCH 1/3] scsi: qedf: Fix an error handling path in 'qedf_alloc_global_queues()'

If 'qedf_alloc_bdq()' fails, 'status' is known to be 0, so we report
success to the caller.

In fact going to 'mem_alloc_failure' is pointless here, because we try to
free some resources that have not been allocated yet.
This is however harmless because 'qedf_free_global_queues()' is robust
enough.

So make a direct return instead, as already done just a few lines above.

While at it, also do a direct return if '!qedf->p_cpuq'. Going to
'mem_alloc_failure' is also pointless here and mixing goto and direct
return is spurious. So make it clear that nothing has to be undone.

Fixes: 61d8658b4a43 ("scsi: qedf: Add QLogic FastLinQ offload FCoE driver framework.")
