Hi Ivo,

When rt2x00queue_alloc_rxskbs() fails rt2x00queue_unitialize()
will be called which will free all rxskb. So we don't need
to do this in the rt2x00queue_alloc_rxskb() function as well.

rt2x00queue_free_skb() unmaps the DMA but doesn't clear the
allocation flag. Since the code is copied from rt2x00queue_unmap_skb()
anyway (and that function does clear the flag) we might as well
use that function directly.

I find this last hunk of the patch a bit dubious. IMHO a function should never rely on letting his caller do the right thing and clean up for it, in case of failures; it should always clean up after itself. It is true that in this case the caller will also attempt to clean up these structures, but that doesn't mean that any potential future users of such a function should be bothered with doing the same thing.
