iavf: fix potential deadlock on allocation failure



In iavf_adminq_task(), if kzalloc() fails to allocate the event.msg_buf,
the function will exit without releasing the adapter->crit_lock.

This is unlikely, but if it happens, the next access to that mutex will
deadlock.

Fix this by moving the unlock to the end of the function, and adding a new
label to allow jumping to the unlock portion of the function exit flow.
