net/mlx5e: Return the allocated flow directly from __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow

This confusing construction confuses the compiler which can't see
that flow is initialized if !err:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c: In function `mlx5e_configure_flower`
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c:2727:28: warning:
`flow` may be used uninitialized in this function
[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

There is no reason for two function outputs, just return the
pointer directly and use ERR_PTR to encode a failure.
