qcom_slim_ngd_xfer_msg() leaks the claimed TX descriptor on two error
paths; QCOM_SLIM_NGD_DESC_NUM such failures fill the ring for good and
every later transfer fails with -ENOMEM. Give the descriptor back.

Fixes: 917809e2280b ("slimbus: ngd: Add qcom SLIMBus NGD driver")
Fixes: 52490169cddf ("slimbus: ngd: add stream support")
