Subject: platform/x86: mlx-platform: free first dev on error

From: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]>

commit 63d762b88cb5510f2bfdb5112ced18cde867ae61 upstream.

There is an off-by-one error so we don't unregister priv->pdev_mux[0]. Also it's slightly simpler as a while loop instead of a for loop.

Fixes 58cbbee2391c ("x86/platform/mellanox: Introduce support for Mellanox systems platform")
