[PATCH] crypto: amlogic: Fix DMA memory leak in cipher error path

In meson_cipher(), if the mapping of the destination scatterlist fails,
the driver jumps to the end of the function. This skips the unmapping of
the previously mapped source scatterlist and the key/IV buffer, causing
a DMA memory leak.

Fix this by introducing proper error labels, error_src and error_keyiv
to unmap the already mapped resources before returning the error.
