Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl: Fix null pointer dereference in cxl_get_fd

kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure.

Uniformly handle resource release in error paths. And when an
error occurs, an error pointer should be returned.

Fixes: bdecf76e319a ("cxl: Fix coredump generation when cxl_get_fd() is used")
