[PATCH 3/3] net/mlx5e: Fix use of freed pointer

If the call to mlx5_fc_create() fails, then shared_counter will be freed before its member, shared_counter->counter, is accessed to retrieve the error code. Fix by using an intermediate variable. Addresses-Coverity: CID 1497153: Memory - illegal accesses (USE_AFTER_FREE) Signed-off-by: Alex Dewar
