[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix memory leak when mapping failure

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian at huawei.com>

We allocated memory for the 'buf' when sending message to HWRM,
but we don't free it when mapping the address to IO address
fails. It will lead to memory leak.

Fixes: 19e6af01bb36 ("net/bnxt: support get/set EEPROM")
