When an allocation in the txq_init path fails, the allocated buffers
end-up being freed twice: in the txq_init error path, and in txq_deinit.
This lead to issues as txq_deinit would work on already freed memory
regions:
kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3915!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
This patch fixes this by removing the txq_init own error path, as the
txq_deinit function is always called on errors. This was introduced by
TSO as way more buffers are allocated.

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.
