Per Andrew's suggestion, split the patch into two

  net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure
  net: sxgbe: check descriptor ring allocation failures

[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure

[Chenguang Zhao]

From: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

When RX descriptor ring allocation fails, init_dma_desc_rings() only
frees the partially allocated RX rings and returns. The TX rings that
were allocated earlier in the same function are leaked.

Mirror the TX allocation error path and release all TX rings before
returning the error.

[PATCH net v2 2/2] net: sxgbe: check descriptor ring allocation failures

[Chenguang Zhao]

From: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

sxgbe_open() ignores the return value of init_dma_desc_rings() and
continues to program DMA with invalid ring addresses when allocation
fails. Check the return value and disconnect the PHY on failure.

There is already some error code to clear tx rings. It makes more sense
to rearrange labels to reuse already existing code.
