Subject: [PATCH net v3] driver: ifb: Fix one possbile memleak when fail to register_netdevice

From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@...mail.com>

The ifb driver allocates some resources in its ndo_init func, and free
them in its destructor func. Then there is one memleak that some errors
happen after register_netdevice invokes the ndo_init callback. Because
the destructor would not be invoked to free the resources.

Now create one new func ifb_destructor_free to free the mem in the
destructor, and add ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to register
the ifb device.

It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin
that the resources are freed in the destructor normally after
register the device successfully.

 v3: Split one patch to multiple commits, per David Ahern
 v2: Move the free in ndo_uninit when fail to register, per Herbert Xu
 v1: initial version
