Subject: [PATCH net v2] cxgb4: fix panic when attaching to ULD fail

Release resources when attaching to ULD fail. Otherwise, data
mismatch is seen between LLD and ULD later on, which lead to
kernel panic when accessing resources that should not even
exist in the first place.

Fixes: 94cdb8bb993a ("cxgb4: Add support for dynamic allocation of resources for ULD")

v2:
- Added txq release if ULD fails to attach
- Changed comment of cxgb4_register_uld into correct format
v1:
- Added the ULD attach check
