Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: Fix memory leak in mlx5_core_destroy_cq() error
 path

Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it returns
without completing all destroy operations and that leads to memory leak.
Instead, complete the destroy flow before return error.

Also move mlx5_debug_cq_remove() to the beginning of mlx5_core_destroy_cq()
to be symmetrical with mlx5_core_create_cq().

kmemleak complains on:
