In ath12k_core_init() when ath12k_core_hw_group_create() fails,
ath12k_core_hw_group_destroy() is called where for each device below
path would get executed

ath12k_core_soc_destroy()
ath12k_qmi_deinit_service()
qmi_handle_release()

This results in kernel crash in case one of the device fails at
qmi_handle_init() when creating hardware group:

ath12k_pci 0000:10:00.0: failed to initialize qmi handle
ath12k_pci 0000:10:00.0: failed to initialize qmi :-517
ath12k_pci 0000:10:00.0: failed to create soc core: -517
ath12k_pci 0000:10:00.0: unable to create hw group
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffb7
RIP: 0010:qmi_handle_release
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 ath12k_qmi_deinit_service
 ath12k_core_hw_group_destroy
 ath12k_core_init
 ath12k_pci_probe

The detailed reason is, when qmi_handle_init() fails for a device
ab->qmi.handle is not correctly initialized. Then
ath12k_core_hw_group_create() returns failure, since error handing
is done for all device, eventually qmi_handle_release() is called for the
issue device and finally kernel crashes due to the uninitialized
ab->qmi.handle.

Fix this by moving error handling to ath12k_core_hw_group_create(), this
way the issue device can be skipped.
