In the error handling of 'offset > adapter->ring_size', the
tx_ring->tx_buffer allocated by kzalloc should be freed,
instead of 'goto failed' instantly.

[Suman] I think we should do tx_ring->tx_buffer = NULL also, to avoid use after free?

It's up to the driver. Some may call that defensive programming.

[Suman] Agree. I pointed it out since this driver is using this approach at other places. But sure, it is up to Zhipeng.

[Zhipeng] I think Suman's suggestion is valuable, it prevents potiential use-after-free and is consistent with other free operations in the same module.
