From: Wentao_Liang <Wentao_Liang_g@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6cc64770fb386b10a64a1fe09328396de7bb5262 ] In line 849 (#1), "mlx5dr_htbl_put(cur_htbl);" drops the reference to cur_htbl and may cause cur_htbl to be freed. However, cur_htbl is subsequently used in the next line, which may result in an use-after-free bug. Fix this by calling mlx5dr_err() before the cur_htbl is put.
