[PATCH net] net: stmmac: unwind the WoL IRQ after a safety IRQ request failure

The safety IRQ is requested after the MAC and optional WoL IRQs. If its
request fails, stmmac_free_irq() frees the unregistered safety IRQ and
leaks the WoL handler. This can warn about an already-free IRQ and make
the next open fail.

Move the safety and WoL cleanup labels into reverse acquisition order.
This also fixes unwind after later per-queue IRQ request failures.

Fixes: 5c2215167d12 ("net: stmmac: Add driver support for common safety IRQ")
