net/mlx5: Fix dereference on pointer attr after null check
When removing a flow from the slow path fdb, a flow attr struct is allocated for the rule removal process. If the allocation fails the code prints a warning message but continues with the removal flow which include dereferencing a pointer which could be null. Fix this by exiting the function in case the attr allocation failed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
