macsec: delete new rxsc when offload fails
[ Upstream commit 93a30947821c203d08865c4e17ea181c9668ce52 ]
Currently we get an inconsistent state:
- netlink returns the error to userspace
- the RXSC is installed but not offloaded
Then the device could get confused when we try to add an RXSA, because
the RXSC isn't supposed to exist.
