Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: sfc: ef10: fix memory leak in efx_ef10_mtd_probe()

In the NIC ->probe() callback, ->mtd_probe() callback is called.
If NIC has 2 ports, ->probe() is called twice and ->mtd_probe() too.
In the ->mtd_probe(), which is efx_ef10_mtd_probe() it allocates and
initializes mtd partiion.
But mtd partition for sfc is shared data.
So that allocated mtd partition data from last called
efx_ef10_mtd_probe() will not be used.
Therefore it must be freed.
But it doesn't free a not used mtd partition data in efx_ef10_mtd_probe().

kmemleak reports:
