PTP pin structs are allocated early in probe, but never cleaned up.
Fix this by calling i40e_ptp_free_pins in the error path.
To support this, i40e_ptp_free_pins was added to the header and made
idempotent. The idempotency supports the condition of
pf->ptp_caps.pin_config not being allocated yet. pin_config is also
correctly nullified after being freed.
This has been an issue since i40e_ptp_alloc_pins was introduced.
Fixes: 1050713026a08 ("i40e: add support for PTP external synchronization clock")

Not a big deal, but I don't think this guard is necessary, because kfree
accepts NULL safely.

Same here.
Thank you for addressing!
