net/mlx5: free mlx5_st_idx_data on final dealloc

Browse Source 
Workloads that repeatedly allocate and release mkeys carrying TPH
steering-tag hints (e.g. churning RDMA MRs) leak one
struct mlx5_st_idx_data per cycle; kmemleak flags it as unreferenced
and the kmalloc slab grows over time.

When the last reference to an ST table entry is dropped,
mlx5_st_dealloc_index() removed the entry from idx_xa but the backing
mlx5_st_idx_data allocation was never freed.

Free idx_data after the xa_erase() so the lifetime of the bookkeeping
struct matches the lifetime of the ST entry it tracks.
