[net PATCH] net: ethernet: stmicro: stmmac: fix possible memory leak in __stmmac_open

Fix a possible memory leak in __stmmac_open when stmmac_init_phy fails.
It's also needed to free everything allocated by stmmac_setup_dma_desc
and not just the dma_conf struct.

Correctly call free_dma_desc_resources on the new dma_conf passed to
__stmmac_open on error.
