[PATCH v4 net] net: airoha: Fix an error handling path in airoha_alloc_gdm_port()

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.

- Rebase against latest -next (because v3 now gets "Hunk #1 succeeded
at 2869 (offset -4 lines)")
Changes in v3:
- None
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/5c94b9b345017f29ed653e2f05d25620d128c3f0.1746715755.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr/

Compile tested only.
In the previous iteration, this patch was part of a serie. But it
should be related to 'net', while the rest of the serie was for
'net-next'. So it is resent as a stand-alone patch, as a v4.
