[PATCH v13 02/25] net/dpaa: fix free port resources on close

dpaa_intf->tx_conf_queues is allocated unconditionally for every port
in dpaa_dev_init():

	dpaa_intf->tx_conf_queues = rte_zmalloc(NULL, sizeof(struct qman_fq) *
		MAX_DPAA_CORES, MAX_CACHELINE);

but it is never released. It is a driver private allocation, so
rte_eth_dev_release_port() does not free it either. The memory is
therefore leaked on every device close and on every probe failure that
happens after the allocation.

dpaa_eth_dev_close() returned early for offline (O/H) and ONIC ports,
before the common cleanup that frees the queue and congestion-group
memory allocated at probe. Added support to clean that path as well.
