Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] mlx4: Fix memory leak after mlx4_en_update_priv()

In mlx4_en_update_priv(), dst->tx_ring[t] and dst->tx_cq[t]
are over-written by src->tx_ring[t] and src->tx_cq[t] without
first calling kfree.

One of the reproducible code paths is by doing 'ethtool -L'.

The fix is to do the kfree in mlx4_en_free_resources().

Here is the kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xffff880841211800 (size 2048):
