Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next] idpf: use desc_ring when checking completion queue DMA allocation

idpf_compl_queue uses a union for comp, comp_4b, and desc_ring. The
release path should check complq->desc_ring to determine whether the DMA
descriptor ring is allocated. The current check against comp works but is
leftover from a previous commit and is misleading in this context.

Switching the check to desc_ring improves readability and more directly
reflects the intended meaning, since desc_ring is the field representing
the allocated DMA-backed descriptor ring.

No functional change.
