net: macb: allocate tieoff descriptor once across device lifetime

The tieoff descriptor is a RX DMA descriptor ring of size one. It gets
configured onto queues for Wake-on-LAN during system-wide suspend when
hardware does not support disabling individual queues
(MACB_CAPS_QUEUE_DISABLE).

MACB/GEM driver allocates it alongside the main RX ring
inside macb_alloc() at open. Free is done by macb_free() at close.

Change to allocate once at probe and free on probe failure or device
removal. This makes the tieoff descriptor lifetime much longer,
avoiding repeating coherent buffer allocation on each open/close cycle.

Main benefit: we dissociate its lifetime from the main ring's lifetime.
That way there is less work to be doing on resources (re)alloc. This
currently happens on close/open, but will soon also happen on context
swap operations (set_ringparam, change_mtu, set_channels, etc).
