Subject: [PATCH 1/4] usbnet: ipheth: fix risk of NULL pointer deallocation
The cleanup precedure in ipheth_probe will attempt to free a
NULL pointer in dev->ctrl_buf if the memory allocation for
this buffer is not successful. While kfree ignores NULL pointers,
and the existing code is safe, it is a better design to rearrange
the goto labels and avoid this.
