kmemleak reported memory leaks in dsa_loop_init():

There are two reasons for memleak in dsa_loop_init().
First, fixed_phy_register() create and register phy_device:
fixed_phy_register()
get_phy_device()
phy_device_create() # freed by phy_device_free()
phy_device_register() # freed by phy_device_remove()
But fixed_phy_unregister() only calls phy_device_remove().
So the memory allocated in phy_device_create() is leaked.
Second, when mdio_driver_register() fail in dsa_loop_init(),
it just returns and there is no cleanup for phydevs.
Fix the problems by catching the error of mdio_driver_register()
in dsa_loop_init(), then calling both fixed_phy_unregister() and
phy_device_free() to release phydevs.
Also add a function for phydevs cleanup to avoid duplacate.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
