IB/srp: Fix remove_one crash due to resource exhaustion

If the add_one callback fails during driver load no resources are
allocated so there isn't a need to release any resources. Trying
to clean the resource may lead to the following kernel panic:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
