Martin KaFai Lau f32b20e89e mlx4: Fix memory leak after mlx4_en_update_priv()
In mlx4_en_update_priv(), dst->tx_ring[t] and dst->tx_cq[t]
are over-written by src->tx_ring[t] and src->tx_cq[t] without
first calling kfree.

One of the reproducible code paths is by doing 'ethtool -L'.

The fix is to do the kfree in mlx4_en_free_resources().

Here is the kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xffff880841211800 (size 2048):

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
