Subject: [PATCH] nfc: change order inside nfc_se_io error path

cb_context should be freed on error paths in nfc_se_io as stated by commit
25ff6f8a5a3b ("nfc: fix memory leak of se_io context in nfc_genl_se_io").

Make the error path in nfc_se_io unwind everything in reverse order, i.e.
free the cb_context after unlocking the device.

No functional changes intended - only adjusting to good coding practice.
