CPU: 0 PID: 4917 Comm: rdma_flush_serv Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.1.0-rc1-roce-flush+ #25

This issue was firstly exposed since commit b18c7da63fcb (“RDMA/rxe: Fix
memory leak in error path code”) and then we fixed it in commit
8ff5f5d9d8cf (“RDMA/rxe: Prevent double freeing rxe_map_set()”) but this
fix was reverted together at last by commit 1e75550648da (Revert
“RDMA/rxe: Create duplicate mapping tables for FMRs”)

Simply let rxe_mr_cleanup() always handle freeing the mr->map once it is
successfully allocated.
