memory leak due to forget to release rx queues.
rx queues is allocated in alloc_netdev_mq(), but they aren't released in
free_netdev(), and the field rps_map is also miss.

rx_queues can't be free from free_netdev since they contain kobjects
(only freed when refcnt goes to zero). They should be freed when the
device kobject is freed (netdev_unregister_kobject).
