mlx5e_create_ttc_table_groups() frees ft->g on failure of
kvzalloc(), but such failure will be caught by its caller
in mlx5e_create_ttc_table() and ft->g will be freed again
in mlx5e_destroy_flow_table(). The same issue also occurs
in mlx5e_create_ttc_table_groups().

I'm not thrilled to see release in the error flow that will be done in
the different function. The missing piece is "ft->g = NULL" after kfree().

And also fixes lines are missing in all your patches.

Thanks
