If an error occurs, 'mlx4_en_destroy_netdev()' is called.
It then calls 'mlx4_en_free_resources()' which does the needed resources
cleanup.
So, doing some explicit kfree in the error handling path would lead to
some double kfree.
Patch make sense but what's bothering me is that mlx4_en_free_resources
loops on the entire array, assuming !priv->tx_ring[t] means entry is
allocated but the existing code does not assume that, see [1]. So i looked
to see where tx_ring array is zeroed and didn't find it.
Am i missing something here.
It's zeroed twice. alloc_etherdev_mqs() allocates zeroed memory and
then we do a memset(priv, 0, sizeof(struct mlx4_en_priv));

We do zero (twice) on init, that's right. But I think Yuval's comment is
valid in case of the driver went into configuration change, or down/up,
that reallocates the rings. I'm double checking this.
