When flow_indr_dev_register() fails, bnxt_init_tc will free
bp->tc_info through kfree(). However, the caller function
bnxt_init_one() will ignore this failure and call
bnxt_shutdown_tc() on failure of bnxt_dl_register(), where
a use-after-free happens. Fix this issue by setting
bp->tc_info to NULL after kfree().

The other way could have been to assign bp->tc_info only after
flow_indr_dev_register succeeds.
But this one works too. Thanks.

I think this is the correct fix.  flow_indr_dev_register(), if
successful, may call the driver's call back function and so
bp->tc_info must be set up before the call.  Thanks.
