[PATCH] net: dsa: sja1105: fix refcount leak in sja1105_setup_tc_taprio()

[Wentao Liang]

In sja1105_setup_tc_taprio(), taprio_offload_get() acquires a
reference on the new offload and stores it in
tas_data->offload[port]. If sja1105_init_scheduling() or
sja1105_static_config_reload() later fails, the function returns
without releasing the reference via taprio_offload_free(). The
stored pointer is thus leaked, as the driver will not clean it up
unless a subsequent TAPRIO_CMD_DESTROY is received, which may
never happen.

Fix the leak by calling taprio_offload_free() and resetting
tas_data->offload[port] to NULL on both error paths.
