When device get command fails to find the device or mdev,
it skips to free the skb during error unwinding path.
Fix it by freeing in error unwind path.

If we put this label before mutex_unlock(), we can remove that call in the error paths.

Maybe we can also add another label before put_device() and jump to it in the "if (!vdev->mdev)" case.
