Subject: [PATCH 4.4 13/47] net: moxa: fix UAF in moxart_mac_probe

From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@...il.com>

commit c78eaeebe855fd93f2e77142ffd0404a54070d84 upstream.

In case of netdev registration failure the code path will
jump to init_fail label:

init_fail:
	netdev_err(ndev, "init failed\n");
	moxart_mac_free_memory(ndev);
irq_map_fail:
	free_netdev(ndev);
	return ret;

So, there is no need to call free_netdev() before jumping
to error handling path, since it can cause UAF or double-free
bug.
