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

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.
