nvmet_setup_dhgroup() leaves the DH transform and group ID
initialized when private-key generation, public-key allocation,
or public-key generation fails.
A subsequent invocation with the same DH group incorrectly
returns success because the existing transform and group ID
are treated as proof of successful initialization.
Release the transform and reset the group state on initialization
failures so that subsequent attempts can properly retry setup.
Fixes: 7a277c37d352 ("nvmet-auth: Diffie-Hellman key exchange support")

v3:
- Clear stale DH key state when crypto_alloc_kpp() fails during
re-authentication.
- Fix the error path when crypto_alloc_kpp() fails by returning
the allocation error instead of incorrectly reporting success.
v2:
- Consolidate error handling in "nvmet_setup_dhgroup()" using
a shared cleanup label to avoid duplicated teardown code.
- Add Fixes trailer.
