[PATCH] erofs-utils: fix pthread resource leak in erofs_alloc_workqueue()

When malloc() fails to allocate wq->workers, erofs_alloc_workqueue()
returns -ENOMEM without cleaning up previously initialized mutex and
condition variables. Destroy them before returning to avoid a resource leak.
Fixes: 13f7268 ("erofs-utils: introduce multi-threading framework")
