net/mlx5: Fix use-after-free

_rule_ is being freed and then dereferenced by accessing rule->ctx

Fix this by copying the value returned by PTR_ERR(rule->ctx) into a local
variable for its safe use after freeing _rule_

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1466041 ("Read from pointer after free")
Fixes: 05564d0ae075 ("net/mlx5: Add flow-steering commands for FPGA IPSec implementation")
