The variable id is allocated by mlx5_adev_idx_alloc(). When some error happens, the id should be freed by mlx5_adev_idx_free().But when auxiliary_device_add() and xa_insert() fail, the id is not freed,which will lead to a potential memory leak. We can fix it by calling mlx5_sf_dev_add() when auxiliary_device_add() and xa_insert() fail.
