net: dsa: Fix use-after-free in probing of DSA switch tree

DSA sets up a switch tree little by little. Every switch of the N
members of the tree calls dsa_register_switch, and (N - 1) will just
touch the dst->ports list with their ports and quickly exit. Only the
last switch that calls dsa_register_switch will find all DSA links
complete in dsa_tree_setup_routing_table, and not return zero as a
result but instead go ahead and set up the entire DSA switch tree
(practically on behalf of the other switches too).

The trouble is that the (N - 1) switches don't clean up after themselves
after they get an error such as EPROBE_DEFER. Their footprint left in
dst->ports by dsa_switch_touch_ports is still there. And switch N, the
one responsible with actually setting up the tree, is going to work with
those stale dp, dp->ds and dp->ds->dev pointers. In particular ds and
ds->dev might get freed by the device driver.

Be there a 2-switch tree and the following calling order:
- Switch 1 calls dsa_register_switch
  - Calls dsa_switch_touch_ports, populates dst->ports
  - Calls dsa_port_parse_cpu, gets -EPROBE_DEFER, exits.
- Switch 2 calls dsa_register_switch
  - Calls dsa_switch_touch_ports, populates dst->ports
  - Probe doesn't get deferred, so it goes ahead.
  - Calls dsa_tree_setup_routing_table, which returns "complete == true"
    due to Switch 1 having called dsa_switch_touch_ports before.
  - Because the DSA links are complete, it calls dsa_tree_setup_switches
    now.
  - dsa_tree_setup_switches iterates through dst->ports, initializing
    the Switch 1 ds structure (invalid) and the Switch 2 ds structure
    (valid).
  - Undefined behavior (use after free, sometimes NULL pointers, etc).

Real example below (debugging prints added by me, as well as guards
against NULL pointers):

The solution is to recognize that the functions that call
dsa_switch_touch_ports (dsa_switch_parse_of, dsa_switch_parse) have side
effects, and therefore one should clean up their side effects on error
path. The cleanup of dst->ports was taken from dsa_switch_remove and
moved into a dedicated dsa_switch_release_ports function, which should
really be per-switch (free only the members of dst->ports that are also
members of ds, instead of all switch ports).
