net/mlx5: DR, fix memory leak in mlx5dr_cmd_create_reformat_ctx
[ Upstream commit 5dd77585dd9d0e03dd1bceb95f0269a7eaf6b936 ]
when mlx5_cmd_exec failed in mlx5dr_cmd_create_reformat_ctx, the memory
pointed by 'in' is not released, which will cause memory leak. Move memory
release after mlx5_cmd_exec.
