net: hns3: fix page_pool leak in hns3_alloc_ring_memory error path

When hns3_alloc_ring_buffers() fails for an RX ring, the out_with_desc
error path in hns3_alloc_ring_memory() frees the descriptor ring. It does
not destroy the page_pool that hns3_alloc_page_pool() just created. This
patch adds a guarded page_pool_destroy() to that error path.

> Add page_pool_destroy() to the out_with_desc error path, guarded by

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but is hns3_free_ring_memory() the right name here? I
can't find a function with that name under
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/.

The only other RX page_pool_destroy() is in hns3_fini_ring(). That function
calls hns3_free_desc() first and destroys the pool last:

drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3_enet.c:hns3_fini_ring() {
	hns3_free_desc(ring);
	devm_kfree(ring_to_dev(ring), ring->desc_cb);
    ...
	if (!HNAE3_IS_TX_RING(ring) && ring->page_pool) {
		page_pool_destroy(ring->page_pool);
		ring->page_pool = NULL;
	}
}

The new out_with_desc path does it in the opposite order. It destroys the
pool and sets ring->page_pool to NULL, then calls hns3_free_desc().

That order looks harmless today. By the time hns3_alloc_ring_buffers()
returns an error, it has already detached every buffer it attached. Each
desc_cb[i].dma is zero, so hns3_free_buffer_detach() returns early and
never hands a page back to the NULL pool.

Could the commit message name hns3_fini_ring() instead? It could also drop
the word "mirroring", since the order differs.
