Title
net/mlx5: Fix tainted pointer delete is case of flow rules creation fail
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Fix tainted pointer delete is case of flow rules creation fail In case of flow rule creation fail in mlx5_lag_create_port_sel_table(), instead of previously created rules, the tainted pointer is deleted deveral times. Fix this bug by using correct flow rules pointers. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
