[PATCH] scsi: elx: efct: fix resource leak in efct_xport_initialize()

efct_device_attach() frees efct->xport when efct_xport_initialize()
fails, but efct_xport_initialize() returns directly when efct_hw_init()
fails. That skips efct_hw_teardown() and leaves the hardware resources
allocated by efct_xport_attach() behind before the transport object
itself is freed.
Route the efct_hw_init() error through the existing hw_init_out cleanup
path so the hardware teardown runs before returning.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in
v7.1-rc5.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have
access to an Emulex LPE31004/LPE36000 adapter to test with in this
environment, no runtime testing was able to beperformed.
