[PATCH v3 1/4] net: airoha: Fix an error handling path in airoha_alloc_gdm_port()

[Lorenzo Bianconi]

> If register_netdev() fails, the error handling path of the probe will not
> free the memory allocated by the previous airoha_metadata_dst_alloc() call
> because port->dev->reg_state will not be NETREG_REGISTERED.
> 
> So, an explicit airoha_metadata_dst_free() call is needed in this case to
> avoid a memory leak.
> 
> Fixes: af3cf757d5c9 ("net: airoha: Move DSA tag in DMA descriptor")
