[PATCH net-next v4 03/18] net: dsa: sja1105: reorder sja1105_first_entry_longer_than with memory allocation

[Jakob Koschel]

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx>

sja1105_first_entry_longer_than() does not make use of the full struct
sja1105_gate_entry *e, just of e->interval which is set from the passed
entry_time.

This means that if there is a gate conflict, we have allocated e for
nothing, just to free it later. Reorder the memory allocation and the
function call, to avoid that and simplify the error unwind path.
