net/mlx5: Avoid double free in fs init error unwinding path



In below code flow, for ingress acl table root ns memory leads
to double free.

mlx5_init_fs
  init_ingress_acls_root_ns()
    init_ingress_acl_root_ns
       kfree(steering->esw_ingress_root_ns);
       /* steering->esw_ingress_root_ns is not marked NULL */
  mlx5_cleanup_fs
    cleanup_ingress_acls_root_ns
       steering->esw_ingress_root_ns non NULL check passes.
       kfree(steering->esw_ingress_root_ns);
       /* double free */

Similar issue exist for other tables.

Hence zero out the pointers to not process the table again.

Fixes: 9b93ab98 ("net/mlx5: Separate ingress/egress namespaces for each vport")
Fixes: 40c3eebb49e51 ("net/mlx5: Add support in RDMA RX steering")
