When register_candev() fails there are 2 possible device states:
NETREG_UNINITIALIZED and NETREG_UNREGISTERED. None of them are suitable
for calling unregister_candev(), because of following checks in
unregister_netdevice_many():

	if (dev->reg_state == NETREG_UNINITIALIZED)
		WARN_ON(1);
...
	BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED);

To avoid possible BUG_ON or WARN_ON let's free current netdev before
returning from es58x_init_netdev() and leave others (registered)
net devices for es58x_free_netdevs().

Changes in v2:
	- Fixed Fixes: tag
	- Moved es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] initialization at the end
	  of the function
