IB/mlx4: Fix use-after-free on pkey sysfs registration failure

register_pkey_tree() ignores errors from register_one_pkey_tree() and
continues registering the remaining slaves. The per-slave error path has
already released the pkey parent kobjects, but their pointers remain
stored in the device. A later device cleanup therefore passes the stale
pointers to kobject_put(), causing a use-after-free.

Clear the parent pointers after releasing a failed slave tree and skip
unregistered trees during device cleanup. This preserves the existing
best-effort registration behavior while preventing a second cleanup of
the failed tree.
