[PATCH v2] net: 8390: pcnet_cs: release PCMCIA window on setup_shmem_window() error

setup_shmem_window() acquires a PCMCIA memory window using
pcmcia_request_window(). If pcmcia_map_mem_page() or the subsequent
ioremap() fails, the function returns without releasing the requested
window.
pcnet_config() treats shared-memory setup failure as non-fatal and falls
back to setup_dma_config(). Probe can therefore continue while socket
window 3 and its reserved iomem range remain unnecessarily held for the
rest of the bound lifetime of the device. pcmcia_disable_device()
eventually releases the window during teardown.
Route error paths after a successful request through a new release label
that calls pcmcia_release_window(). Fold the existing buffer-verification
cleanup into the same path, keeping iounmap() before the window release
when a mapping exists. Leave the request failure path unchanged.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

Changes in v2:
- Clarify that the window remains reserved only until device teardown.
- Make the DMA fallback and continued probe description conditional.
- Avoid claiming that every request failure leaves no resource held.
- Restore the surrounding indentation for the new goto statements.
