net: bnxt: fix a potential use-after-free in bnxt_init_tc
[ Upstream commit d007caaaf052f82ca2340d4c7b32d04a3f5dbf3f ]
When flow_indr_dev_register() fails, bnxt_init_tc will free
bp->tc_info through kfree(). However, the caller function
bnxt_init_one() will ignore this failure and call
bnxt_shutdown_tc() on failure of bnxt_dl_register(), where
a use-after-free happens. Fix this issue by setting
bp->tc_info to NULL after kfree().
