Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix double free on error handling

[ upstream commit e9f4166014cb7abf8c74b913ff046487d0e7bea2 ]

When attr_ctx is NULL it will attempt to free the list of devices twice.
Avoid double freeing the list by directly going to error handling.

Fixes: 771fa900b73a ("mlx5: introduce new driver for Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters")
