igbvf: fix double free in igbvf_probe

In igbvf_probe, if register_netdev() fails, the program will go to label err_hw_init, and then to label err_ioremap. In free_netdev() which is just below label err_ioremap, there is list_for_each_entry_safe and netif_napi_del which aims to delete all entries in dev-&gt;napi_list. The program has added an entry adapter-&gt;rx_ring-&gt;napi which is added by netif_napi_add in igbvf_alloc_queues(). However, adapter->rx_ring has been freed below label err_hw_init. So this a UAF.

In terms of how to patch the problem, we can refer to igbvf_remove() and delete the entry before adapter-&gt;rx_ring.
