When creating new RX rings, one less than the number of buffers in the
ring need to be allocated. It is possible that only a part of the
allocation is successful, resulting in a failure to create the rings.
In this case, the driver should free the buffers which were successfully
allocated to avoid a memory leak in case the application does not
automatically exit.
