nvmet: pci-epf: put CQ ref on create_cq mapping failure

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: pci-epf: put CQ ref on create_cq mapping failure nvmet_pci_epf_create_cq() calls nvmet_cq_create(), which takes a reference on the controller and installs the completion queue. If the subsequent PCI address-space mapping fails or returns a too-small partial mapping, the function jumps to err_internal / err_unmap_queue without calling nvmet_cq_put(). The matching put in nvmet_pci_epf_delete_cq() is gated on NVMET_PCI_EPF_Q_LIVE, which is only set after the mapping succeeds, so teardown never releases these references. A remote PCI host that drives Create IO CQ commands with a failing PRP1/pci_addr therefore leaks the CQ and a controller reference on each attempt. Drop the CQ reference on the mapping-failure paths. The err_internal and err_unmap_queue labels are only reachable after nvmet_cq_create() has succeeded, so this pairs the create/put correctly.
