[PATCH v2] net: ethernet: arc: Fix a potential memory leak if an optional regulator is deferred

[Christophe JAILLET]

If the optional regulator is deferred, we must release some resources.
They will be re-allocated when the probe function will be called again.

Fixes: 6eacf31139bf ("ethernet: arc: Add support for Rockchip SoC layer device 
tree bindings")
