[PATCH net v5] net/mlx5: Add error handling in mlx5_query_nic_vport_node_guid()

[Wentao Liang]

The function mlx5_query_nic_vport_node_guid() calls the function
mlx5_query_nic_vport_context() but does not check its return value.
A proper implementation can be found in mlx5_nic_vport_query_local_lb().

Add error handling for mlx5_query_nic_vport_context(). If it fails, free
the out buffer via kvfree() and return error code.

Fixes: 9efa75254593 ("net/mlx5_core: Introduce access functions to query vport RoCE fields")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.5

v5: Remove error tag.
v4: Fix code error.
v3: Explicitly mention target branch. Change improper code.
v2: Remove redundant reassignment. Fix typo error.
