I think that the following is also needed here, to avoid a subsequent
double-free.

	adapter->vport_config[idx]->qid_reg_info.queue_chunks = NULL;

If a non-zero value is returned here, then
the allocation (of adapter->vport_config[idx]->qid_reg_info.queue_chunks)
made in idpf_vport_init_queue_reg_chunks() will be leaked.

I think it should be both freed and set to NULL in this error path.
Which I think suggests a helper to do so here and elsewhere.
