Subject: [PATCH v2] net/mlx5e: Fix an error code in mlx5e_arfs_create_tables()

When the code execute 'if (!priv->fs.arfs->wq)', the value of err is 0.
So, we use -ENOMEM to indicate that the function
create_singlethread_workqueue() return NULL.

Clean up smatch warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_arfs.c:373
mlx5e_arfs_create_tables() warn: missing error code 'err'.

Fixes: f6755b80d693 ("net/mlx5e: Dynamic alloc arfs table for netdev when needed")
Signed-off-by: Yang Li <yang.lee@...ux.alibaba.com>

Changes in v2:
--According to Saeed's suggestion, we modify the format of Fixes tag, 
--and initialize err to -ENOMEM.
