[PATCH net 4/8] ice: Fix memory leak in ice_set_ringparam()

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>

From: Zilin Guan <redacted>

In ice_set_ringparam, tx_rings and xdp_rings are allocated before
rx_rings. If the allocation of rx_rings fails, the code jumps to
the done label leaking both tx_rings and xdp_rings. Furthermore, if
the setup of an individual Rx ring fails during the loop, the code jumps
to the free_tx label which releases tx_rings but leaks xdp_rings.

Fix this by introducing a free_xdp label and updating the error paths to
ensure both xdp_rings and tx_rings are properly freed if rx_rings
allocation or setup fails.

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

Fixes: efc2214b6047 ("ice: Add support for XDP")
