mlxsw: core_linecards: Fix double memory deallocation in case of invalid INI file PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mlxsw: core_linecards: Fix double memory deallocation in case of invalid INI file In case of invalid INI file mlxsw_linecard_types_init() deallocates memory but doesn't reset pointer to NULL and returns 0.
