Bobby Eshleman 593dfd40a9 eth: fbnic: fix double-free of PCS on phylink creation failure
fbnic_phylink_create() stores the newly allocated PCS in fbn->pcs and
then calls phylink_create(). When phylink_create() fails, the error path
correctly destroys the PCS via xpcs_destroy_pcs(), but the caller,
fbnic_netdev_alloc(), responds by invoking fbnic_netdev_free() which
calls fbnic_phylink_destroy(). That function finds fbn->pcs non-NULL and
calls xpcs_destroy_pcs() a second time on the already-freed object,
triggering a refcount underflow use-after-free:

[   1.940184] fbnic 0000:01:00.0: Netdev allocation failed

Instead of calling fbnic_phylink_destroy(), the prior initialization of
netdev should just be unrolled with free_netdev() and clearing
fbd->netdev.

Clearing fbd->netdev to NULL avoids UAF in init_failure_mode where
callers guard by checking !fbd->netdev, such as fbnic_mdio_read_pmd().
These callers remain active even after a failed probe, so fdb->netdev
still needs to be cleared.
