Subject: [PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Fix memory leak in
 lpfc_sli4_driver_resource_setup()

The memory allocated for mboxq using mempool_alloc() is not freed in
some of the early exit error paths. Fix that by moving the
mempool_free() call to an earlier point after last use.

Fixes: d79c9e9d4b3d ("scsi: lpfc: Support dynamic unbounded SGL lists on G7 hardware.")
