Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix lock release on NVM write failure

[ upstream commit 4623c0d4b572e9bea28d59e6e54ae6d5dab2412e ]

In bnxt_hwrm_flash_nvram, before attempting to allocate a buffer
we are grabbing the rte_spinlock. And if the allocation fails we
are returning before releasing the spinlock. We avoid the situation
by calling HWRM_PREP which grabs the lock after the buffer is
allocated successfully.

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