If the driver fails to probe, it would be nice to not leak memory.

I've decided to target this patch towards net-next because:
- no user has complained about this being an issue
- in theory there should be a Fixes: 56051948773e ("net: dsa: ocelot:
  add driver for Felix switch family") but the fix already conflicts
  with some patches that are in net-next:
  * f59fd9cab730 ("net: mscc: ocelot: configure watermarks using devlink-sb")
  * c54913c1d4ee ("net: dsa: ocelot: request DSA to fix up lack of address learning on CPU port")
  and it would unnecessarily cause maintainance headaches to resolve the
  conflicts.
  Alternatively I could wait until net-next is merged into net and send
  the bugfix at that point, but the result would be the same: the patch
  would not be backportable basically anywhere.
