Series net/mlx5: Fix NULL dereference and memory leak in ttc_table creation | expand

Relocate the memory allocation for ttc table after the switch statement
that validates params->ns_type in both mlx5_create_inner_ttc_table() and
mlx5_create_ttc_table(). This ensures memory is only allocated after
confirming valid input, eliminating potential memory leaks when invalid
ns_type cases occur.

A bit hard to see from the context but I'm guessing this fixes 
a memory leak? We need a Fixes tag..

reminder: please trim your replies

Thanks for the reminder. I've added the Fixes tag in v7.
