hws_bwc_matcher_move() allocates a replacement matcher before setting it
as the resize target. If mlx5hws_matcher_resize_set_target() fails, the
replacement matcher is not attached anywhere and is leaked.
Fix the leak by destroying the replacement matcher before returning from
the resize-target failure path.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a
mlx5 HWS-capable device to test with, no runtime testing was able to be
performed.
