sja1105_first_entry_longer_than() does not make use of the full struct sja1105_gate_entry *e, just of e->interval which is set from the passed entry_time. This means that if there is a gate conflict, we have allocated e for nothing, just to free it later. Reorder the memory allocation and the function call, to avoid that and simplify the error unwind path.
