scsi: bfa: Fix use-after-free in bfad_im_module_exit()

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x2aca/0x3a20 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881082d80c8 by task modprobe/25303

Above issue happens as follows:

bfad_init error = bfad_im_module_init() fc_release_transport(bfad_im_scsi_transport_template); if (error) goto ext;

ext: bfad_im_module_exit(); fc_release_transport(bfad_im_scsi_transport_template); –> Trigger double release

Dont call bfad_im_module_exit() if bfad_im_module_init() failed.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
