cxl/region: Fix decoder allocation crash



When an intermediate port's decoders have been exhausted by existing
regions, and creating a new region with the port in question in it's
hierarchical path is attempted, cxl_port_attach_region() fails to find a
port decoder (as would be expected), and drops into the failure / cleanup
path.

However, during cleanup of the region reference, a sanity check attempts
to dereference the decoder, which in the above case didn't exist. This
causes a NULL pointer dereference BUG.

To fix this, refactor the decoder allocation and de-allocation into
helper routines, and in this 'free' routine, check that the decoder,
@cxld, is valid before attempting any operations on it.
