Currently when xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() fails in the XSK path, the
error handling incorrectly jumps to err_destroy_page_pool. While this
may not cause errors, we should make it jump to the correct location.

In the page_pool_destroy function, if pool is NULL, the function will simply return, so the goto err_destroy_page_pool statement will not lead to any issues.

However, this commit does improve the clarity of the logic.

Looks good to me.

void page_pool_destroy(struct page_pool *pool)
{
if (!pool)
return;

if (!page_pool_put(pool))
return;

page_pool_disable_direct_recycling(pool);
page_pool_free_frag(pool);

if (!page_pool_release(pool))
return;

page_pool_detached(pool);
pool->defer_start = jiffies;
pool->defer_warn = jiffies + DEFER_WARN_INTERVAL;

INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&pool->release_dw, page_pool_release_retry);
schedule_delayed_work(&pool->release_dw, DEFER_TIME);
}
