From: Gao Feng <gfree.w...@foxmail.com> The ifb driver allocates some resources in its ndo_init func, and free them in its destructor func. Then there is one memleak that some errors happen after register_netdevice invokes the ndo_init callback. Because the destructor would not be invoked to free the resources.
Now create one new func ifb_destructor_free to free the mem in the destructor, and add ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to register the ifb device. It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin that the resources are freed in the destructor normally after register the device successfully.
