[PATCH net v3] drivers: net: ionic: add missed debugfs cleanup to ionic_probe() error path

[PATCH net v3] drivers: net: ionic: add missed debugfs cleanup to ionic_probe() error path

[Wentao Liang]

From: Wentao Liang <Wentao_liang_g@163.com>

The ionic_setup_one() creates a debugfs entry for ionic upon
successful execution. However, the ionic_probe() does not
release the dentry before returning, resulting in a memory
leak.

To fix this bug, we add the ionic_debugfs_del_dev() to release
the resources in a timely manner before returning.

Fixes: 0de38d9f1dba ("ionic: extract common bits from ionic_probe")

Just in time to still make today's PR ;)

This change looks fine but as a future refactoring perhaps there should
be a wrapper for:

        ionic_dev_teardown(ionic);                                              
        ionic_clear_pci(ionic);                                                 
        ionic_debugfs_del_dev(ionic);

which pairs with ionic_setup() ?

Thanks, we'll keep that in mind.
