[Intel-wired-lan] [RFT net-next PATCH RESEND 0/2] ethernet: intel: fix freeing uninitialized pointers with __free

[Ally Heev]

Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined
behavior as the memory assigned randomly to the pointer is freed
automatically when the pointer goes out of scope.

We could just fix it by initializing the pointer to NULL, but, as usage of
cleanup attributes is discouraged in net [1], trying to achieve cleanup
using goto
