Subject: [PATCH] nfp: Fix memory leak in nfp_resource_acquire()

This patch fixes a memory leak in nfp_resource_acquire(). res->mutex is
alllocated in nfp_resource_try_acquire(). However, when
msleep_interruptible() or time_is_before_eq_jiffies() fails, it falls
into err_fails path where res is freed, but res->mutex is not.

Fix this by changing call to free to nfp_resource_release().
