Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx4_core: Fix to clean devlink resources

From: Kamal Heib <kamalh@...lanox.com>

This patch cleans devlink resources by calling devlink_port_unregister()
to avoid the following issues:

- Kernel panic when triggering reset flow.
- Memory leak due to unfreed resources in mlx4_init_port_info().

Fixes: 09d4d087cd48 ("mlx4: Implement devlink interface")
