The function mlx5_query_nic_vport_qkey_viol_cntr() calls the function
mlx5_query_nic_vport_context() but does not check its return value. This
could lead to undefined behavior if the query fails. A proper
implementation can be found in mlx5_nic_vport_query_local_lb().

Add error handling for mlx5_query_nic_vport_context(). If it fails, free
the out buffer via kvfree() and return error code.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.5

v3: Explicitly mention target branch. Change improper code.
v2: Remove redundant reassignment. Fix RCT.

"net" should be written in subject and not like keyword.
