RDMA/rxe: Fix NULL-ptr-deref in rxe_qp_do_cleanup() when socket create failed
There is a null-ptr-deref when mount.cifs over rdma:
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in rxe_qp_do_cleanup+0x2f3/0x360 [rdma_rxe]

The root cause of the issue is the socket create failed in
rxe_qp_init_req().
So move the reset rxe_qp_do_cleanup() after the NULL ptr check.
