Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cxl/cdat: Handle cdat table build errors

The callback for building CDAT tables may return negative error codes.
This was previously unhandled and will result in potentially huge
allocations later on in ct3_build_cdat()

Detect the negative error code and defer cdat building.

This likely needs to have some more robust error handling in the event
of errors.  But this at least prevents more errors down the line with
invalid allocations.
