Subject: [PATCH v3] net/mlx5_core: Add error handling inmlx5_query_nic_vport_qkey_viol_cntr()

The function mlx5_query_nic_vport_qkey_viol_cntr() calls the function
mlx5_query_nic_vport_context() but does not check its return value. This
could lead to undefined behavior if the query fails. A proper
implementation can be found in mlx5_nic_vport_query_local_lb().

Add error handling for mlx5_query_nic_vport_context(). If it fails, free
the out buffer via kvfree() and return error code.

Fixes: 9efa75254593 ("net/mlx5_core: Introduce access functions to query vport RoCE fields")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # v4.5
Target: net
Signed-off-by: Wentao Liang <vulab@...as.ac.cn>

v3: Explicitly mention target branch. Change improper code.
v2: Remove redundant reassignment. Fix RCT.
