[PATCH] cxl: Fix leaking pid refs in some error paths

In some error paths in functions cxl_start_context and
afu_ioctl_start_work pid references to the current & group-leader tasks
can leak after they are taken. This patch fixes these error paths to
release these pid references before exiting the error path.

This patch is based on earlier patch "cxl: Prevent adapter reset
if an active context exists" at
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/682187/

Fixes: 7b8ad495("cxl: Fix DSI misses when the context owning task exits")
