Shalom Toledo a22712a962 mlxsw: core: Fix devlink unregister flow
After a failed reload, the driver is still registered to devlink, its
devlink instance is still allocated and the 'reload_fail' flag is set.
Then, in the next reload try, the driver's allocated devlink instance will
be freed without unregistering from devlink and its components (e.g,
resources). This scenario can cause a use-after-free if the user tries to
execute command via devlink user-space tool.

Fix by not freeing the devlink instance during reload (failed or not).

README

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.
