Subject: [PATCH V1 net 2/8] net: ena: fix: set freed objects to NULL to avoid failing future allocations

From: Sameeh Jubran <sameehj@...zon.com>

In some cases when a queue related allocation fails, successful past
allocations are freed but the pointer that pointed to them is not
set to NULL. This is a problem for 2 reasons:
1. This is generally a bad practice since this pointer might be
accidentally accessed in the future.
2. Future allocations using the same pointer check if the pointer
is NULL and fail if it is not.

Fixed this by setting such pointers to NULL in the allocation of
queue related objects.

Also refactored the code of ena_setup_tx_resources() to goto-style
error handling to avoid code duplication of resource freeing.

Fixes: 1738cd3ed342 ("net: ena: Add a driver for Amazon Elastic Network Adapters (ENA)")
