Subject: [PATCH v3] sfc: falcon: potential dereference null pointer of rx_queue->page_ring

The return value of kcalloc() needs to be checked.
To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc,
such as ef4_fini_rx_queue().
Therefore, it should be better to change the definition of page_ptr_mask
to signed int and then assign the page_ptr_mask to -1 when page_ring is
NULL, in order to avoid the use in the loop.

Fixes: 5a6681e22c14 ("sfc: separate out SFC4000 ("Falcon") support into new sfc-falcon driver")
Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@...as.ac.cn>

Changelog:

v2 -> v3

*Change 1. Alter the "ret" to 'rc' and cleanup the rx_queue and tx_queue when alloc fails.
*Change 2. Set size to -1 instead of return error.
