[PATCH net-next v1 1/4] net/mlx5: Don't free the ASO CQ if destroying it fails

[Yuho Choi <oss.patchbox@gmail.com>]

mlx5_aso_destroy_cq() ignores the result of mlx5_core_destroy_cq() and
frees the CQ buffer and doorbell record anyway, and its callers then
free the struct mlx5_aso that embeds the CQ. If DESTROY_CQ fails, the
CQ may still exist in firmware and retain access to its buffer and
doorbell record. mlx5_core_destroy_cq() also returns early in that case,
without waiting for EQ handlers that may already hold a reference to
the CQ.

Return the error from mlx5_aso_destroy_cq() and keep both the buffer
and the struct mlx5_aso when it fails, as the regular mlx5_ib CQ destroy
path does. A device in internal error is not affected, since the mlx5
core reports success for DESTROY_CQ in that state.
