Subject: [PATCH net] net: enetc: distinguish error from valid pointers in enetc_fixup_clear_rss_rfs()

enetc_psi_create() returns an ERR_PTR() or a valid station interface
pointer, but checking for the non-NULL quality of the return code blurs
that difference away. So if enetc_psi_create() fails, we call
enetc_psi_destroy() when we shouldn't. This will likely result in
crashes, since enetc_psi_create() cleans up everything after itself when
it returns an ERR_PTR().

Fixes: f0168042a212 ("net: enetc: reimplement RFS/RSS memory clearing as PCI quirk")
