[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] net/mlx5: fix double free on error handling

[Raslan Darawsheh <rasland@mellanox.com>]

When attr_ctx is NULL it will attempt to free the list of devices twice.
Avoid double freeing the list by directly going to error handling.

Fixes: 771fa900b73a ("mlx5: introduce new driver for Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
