Subject: [PATCH] net: farsync: Fix kmemleak when rmmods farsync

There are two memory leaks reported by kmemleak:

  unreferenced object 0xffff888114b20200 (size 128):
    comm "modprobe", pid 4846, jiffies 4295146524 (age 401.345s)
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):

      [<ffffffff82060e83>] local_pci_probe+0xd3/0x170
      ...

The root cause is traced to the netdev and fst_card_info are not freed
when removes one fst in fst_remove_one(), which may trigger oom if
repeated insmod and rmmod module.

Fix it by adding free_netdev() and kfree() in fst_remove_one(), just as
the operations on the error handling path in fst_add_one().
