When changing the order of the Tx queues startup, the depth of the
queue is compared. If not equal to the current big log2 value, next
queue will be checked and the current one will be skipped for the
next iteration.

The mlx5_txq_get() will increase the reference count number, and the
size check no match is not an error and the startup will continue but
not fall into the error roll-back label. The reference count should
be decreased by 1 to dereference the count, or else in the device
close stage, the queue cannot be released in the FW and the TIS, PD
will be leaked as well.

By calling the mlx5_txq_release() before continue will recover the
reference count to the initial state and solve the leak.
