Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net/mlx5: Fix memory leak in cmd_exec()

From: Chiara Meiohas <cmeiohas@...dia.com>

If cmd_exec() is called with callback and mlx5_cmd_invoke() returns an
error, resources allocated in cmd_exec() will not be freed.

Fix the code to release the resources if mlx5_cmd_invoke() returns an
error.

Fixes: f086470122d5 ("net/mlx5: cmdif, Return value improvements")
