Alan a9f488831c staging: et131x: fix allocation failures 
We should check the ring allocations don't fail.
If we get a fail we need to clean up properly. The allocator assumes the
deallocator will be used on failure, but it isn't. Make sure the
right deallocator is always called and add a missing check against
fbr allocation failure.

[v2]: Correct check logic

README 

This is a driver for the ET1310 network device.

Based on the driver found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/

Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman and Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
driver as they did not build properly at the time.

TODO:
	- Look at reducing the number of spinlocks
	- Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts(), when determining multicast_pkts_rcvd
	- Implement NAPI support
	- In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet with kfree_skb().
	- Reduce the number of split lines by careful consideration of variable names etc.
