staging: et131x: Replace kmem_cache use with plain kmalloc/kfree

The use of a kmem_cache was noted as being unusual in the TODO. Replace
the kmem_cache with kmalloc/kfree so that the code is less suprising.

Also tidy up the mess that was the et131x_init_recv() out of memory
error path.

 TODO:
-	- Use of kmem_cache seems a bit unusual
 	- some rx packets have CRC/code/frame errors
