[PATCH] net: airoha: Stop TX queues on error path in airoha_dev_open

[Wayen Yan]

In airoha_dev_open(), if airoha_set_vip_for_gdm_port() fails after
netif_tx_start_all_queues() has been called, the TX queues remain
started while the device configuration is incomplete. This leaves
the device in an inconsistent state where packets could be
transmitted before the VIP/IFC port configuration is complete.

Add netif_tx_stop_all_queues() call on the error path to properly
roll back the TX queue state.

Not sure if this was superseded by another posting but FWIW
this posting did not apply.
