[PATCH] net: winbond-840: release IRQ on alloc_ringdesc() error path

netdev_open() registers the shared IRQ with request_irq() and then calls
alloc_ringdesc().  When alloc_ringdesc() fails, the error path jumps to
out_err, which only calls netif_device_attach() and returns.  The IRQ
handler stays registered forever: net/core/dev.c never calls ndo_stop
when ndo_open fails, so netdev_close(), the only place that frees the
IRQ, is never reached.  The leaked handler is also left enabled on an
uninitialised device.

Add a separate out_err_free_irq label that releases the IRQ before
returning the allocation error, mirroring the cleanup already used by
the sibling de2104x driver.
