[PATCH] nvme-fabrics: error out to unlock the mutex

[Chaitanya Kulkarni <kch@nvidia.com>]

Currently, in the nvmf_host_add() function, if the nvmf_host_alloc()
call failed to allocate memory for the host, the code would directly
return -ENOMEM without unlocking the nvmf_hosts_mutex. This could
lead to potential issues with mutex synchronization.

Fix that error handling mechanism by jumping to the out_unlock label
when nvmf_host_alloc() fails. This ensures that the mutex is unlocked
before returning the error code. The updated code enhances avoids
possible deadlocks.
