In case devcom allocation is failed, mlx5 is always freeing the priv.
However, this priv might have been allocated by a different thread,
and freeing it might lead to use-after-free bugs.
Fix it by freeing the priv only in case it was allocated by the
running thread.

Fixes: fadd59fc50d0 ("net/mlx5: Introduce inter-device communication mechanism")
