net/mlx5: E-Switch: fix use-after-free in mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put

In mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put(), the zero-ref cleanup check reads
tt->ref_count after termtbl_mutex has been released.  Two concurrent
callers on the same mlx5_termtbl_handle race: one decrements ref_count
to zero, removes the hash entry, and calls kfree(tt) while the other
has already dropped the mutex and is about to evaluate
if (!tt->ref_count), producing a use-after-free.

Fix this by capturing the result of the decrement into a stack-local
last variable before dropping the mutex.  The cleanup decision is now
made entirely under termtbl_mutex, and tt is not touched after
kfree.
