RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix a possible memory leak in the driver

[ Upstream commit ba60a1e8cbbd396c69ff9c8bc3242f5ab133e38a ]

The GID context reuse logic requires the context memory to be
not freed if and when DEL_GID firmware command fails. But, if
there's no subsequent ADD_GID to reuse it, the context memory
must be freed when the driver is unloaded. Otherwise it leads
to a memory leak.

Below is the kmemleak trace reported:
