This patch seems to be doing three things.
Could it be split into three patches?

Mainly for my own edification:

	- otx2_mbox_alloc_msg_nix_txsch_free is created via the
	  M(_name, _id, _fn_name, _req_type, _rsp_type) macro
	  around line 844 of  otx2_common.h
	- It calls otx2_mbox_alloc_msg_rsp
	- Which does not call any allocation functions such as kmalloc

I think that given the above it's ok to log an error here.
As the allocation core won't have (because it's not used here.
But I wonder if it would be more consistent with how
allocation errors are usually handled to move the logging into
otx2_mbox_alloc_msg_rsp().

nit: no blank line here.
