bnx2x: clean up VF PCI resources on probe failure

bnx2x_init_one() allocates VF PCI resources by calling bnx2x_vf_pci_alloc(),
but later error paths fall through the common cleanup path without calling
bnx2x_vf_pci_dealloc(). This commit adds a VF-specific error label to fix
the leak.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but if bnx2x_set_int_mode() succeeds earlier in
bnx2x_init_one(), MSI or MSI-X interrupts are configured. If register_netdev()
subsequently fails, the error path skips disabling these interrupts.

Does this leave the interrupts enabled and leak PCI IRQ vectors since there is
no call to bnx2x_disable_msi() on this error path?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but adding this mailbox cleanup here
seems to prevent releasing the acquired PF resources.

Earlier in bnx2x_init_one(), if IS_VF(bp) is true, we call bnx2x_vfpf_acquire()
to request resources from the PF. If a failure occurs later in the probe
function, the new error path calls bnx2x_vf_pci_dealloc() which frees the
VF-to-PF mailbox.

Because the mailbox memory is destroyed without first calling
bnx2x_vfpf_release(), does this result in a permanent leak of PF resources
assigned to the VF?
