Fix a possible memory leak when a bind of an AF_XDP socket fails. When
the fill and completion rings are created, they are tied to the
socket. But when the buffer pool is later created at bind time, the
ownership of these two rings are transferred to the buffer pool as
they might be shared between sockets (and the buffer pool cannot be
created until we know what we are binding to). So, before the buffer
pool is created, these two rings are cleaned up with the socket, and
after they have been transferred they are cleaned up together with
the buffer pool.
The problem is that ownership was transferred before it was absolutely
certain that the buffer pool could be created and initialized
correctly and when one of these errors occurred, the fill and
completion rings did neither belong to the socket nor the pool and
where therefore leaked. Solve this by moving the ownership transfer
to the point where the buffer pool has been completely set up and
there is no way it can fail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
