[PATCH] net/bnxt: fix deadlock in mgr timer cb

The function 'ulp_ha_mgr_timer_cb' acquires a lock on the context
entry at the beginning with bnxt_ulp_cntxt_entry_acquire(). This lock
is expected to be released by bnxt_ulp_cntxt_entry_release() at the
end of the function.

However, the second early return statement in the function could
potentially bypass the lock release. To fix this issue, add
bnxt_ulp_cntxt_entry_release() before the return statement.
