octeontx2-af: Fix error handling
This commit adds error handling and rollback logic to
rvu_mbox_handler_attach_resources() to properly clean up partially
attached resources when rvu_attach_block() fails.

^^^^
The success path returns here without calling mutex_unlock(). The mutex
was acquired earlier via mutex_lock(&rvu->rsrc_lock) but the success
path bypasses the unlock at fail1. Will this cause rvu->rsrc_lock to
remain held after a successful attach, leading to a deadlock on the
next call?
