From: Gao Feng <gfree.w...@foxmail.com>
The dummy driver allocates dev->dstats and priv->vfinfo in its
ndo_init func dummy_dev_init, free the dev->dstats in the ndo_uninit
and free the priv->vfinfo in its destructor func. Then there is one
memleak that some errors happen after register_netdevice invokes the
ndo_init callback. Because only the ndo_uninit callback is invoked in
the error handler of register_netdevice, but destructor not.
Now create one new func dummy_destructor_free to free the mem in the
destructor, and the ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to
register the dummy device.
It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin
that the priv->vfinfo is freed in the destructor normally after
register the device successfully.
