[PATCH net-next] i40e: Use common error handling code in i40e_register_auxiliary_dev()

[Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:02:58 +0200

Use an additional label so that a bit of exception handling can be better
reused at the end of an if branch.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
