mlxsw: core: Fix devlink unregister flow
After a failed reload, the driver is still registered to devlink, its devlink instance is still allocated and the 'reload_fail' flag is set. Then, in the next reload try, the driver's allocated devlink instance will be freed without unregistering from devlink and its components (e.g, resources). This scenario can cause a use-after-free if the user tries to execute command via devlink user-space tool. Fix by not freeing the devlink instance during reload (failed or not).
