net: cpsw_new: unregister devlink on port registration failure
cpsw_probe() registers devlink before registering the CPSW ports.
If cpsw_register_ports() fails, the error path only unregisters the
notifiers and then releases the lower level resources. It does not undo
the successful cpsw_register_devlink() call, leaving the devlink instance
and its parameters registered after probe has failed.
Add a devlink cleanup label for the path where devlink registration has
already succeeded, and use it when port registration fails.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
