vdpa/mlx5: fix leak on event thread creation

As stated in the manual, pthread_attr_init return value should be
checked.
Besides, a pthread_attr_t should be destroyed once unused.

In practice, we may have no leak (from what I read in glibc current code),
but this may change in the future.
Stick to a correct use of the API.
