When register_candev() fails there are 2 possible device states:
NETREG_UNINITIALIZED and NETREG_UNREGISTERED. None of them are suitable
for calling unregister_candev(), because of following checks in
unregister_netdevice_many():
if (dev->reg_state == NETREG_UNINITIALIZED)
WARN_ON(1);
...
BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED);
To avoid possible BUG_ON or WARN_ON let's free current netdev before
returning from es58x_init_netdev() and leave others (registered)
net devices for es58x_free_netdevs().
