Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] ixgbevf: Fix resource leak in ixgbevf_init_module()

From: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@...wei.com>

ixgbevf_init_module() won't destroy the workqueue created by
create_singlethread_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed. Add
destroy_workqueue() in fail path to prevent the resource leak.

Similar to the handling of u132_hcd_init in commit f276e002793c
("usb: u132-hcd: fix resource leak")

Fixes: 40a13e2493c9 ("ixgbevf: Use a private workqueue to avoid certain possible hangs")
