The ice_ptp_alloc_tx_tracker function must allocate the timestamp array and the bitmap for tracking the currently in use indexes. A future change is going to add yet another allocation to this function. If these allocations fail we need to ensure that we properly cleanup and ensure that the pointers in the ice_ptp_tx structure are NULL. Simplify this logic by allocating to local variables first. If any allocation fails, then free everything and exit. Only update the ice_ptp_tx structure if all allocations succeed. This ensures that we have no side effects on the Tx structure unless all allocations have succeeded. Thus, no code will see an invalid pointer and we don't need to re-assign NULL on cleanup. This is safe because kernel "free" functions are designed to be NULL safe and perform no action if passed a NULL pointer. Thus its safe to simply always call kfree or bitmap_free even if one of those pointers was NULL.

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.
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.
