[PATCH v2] drivers: net: ionic: fix a memory leak bug

[PATCH v2] drivers: net: ionic: fix a memory leak bug

[Wentao Liang]

From: Wentao Liang <Wentao_liang_g@163.com>

In line 334, 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() before
line 397 to release the resources before the function returns.

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

Regarding subject. "fix a memory leak bug" sounds just too vague. Try to
be more specific. "add missed debugfs cleanup to ionic_probe() error path"
perhaps? IDK.

Please don't use line numbers in patch description.

Code looks okay.

Also still needs the "net" tag in the [PATCH ...]" part.
