The dr_domain_add_vport_cap() function genereally returns NULL on error
but sometimes we want it to return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY) so the caller can
retry.  The problem here is that "ret" can be either -EBUSY or -ENOMEM
and if it's and -ENOMEM then the error pointer is propogated back and
eventually dereferenced in dr_ste_v0_build_src_gvmi_qpn_tag().

Fixes: 11a45def2e19 ("net/mlx5: DR, Add support for SF vports")
