  Fix the error handling in setting up transmit buffer.
If setting up chimney buffer fails, then it is not connected so
no need to send disconnect.

Allow for some unused area if full area is not used.

subsytem is net/netvsc, so title should be:
net/netvsc: fix chimney buffer size error handling

Fixes: 4e9c73e96e83 ("net/netvsc: add Hyper-V network device")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Assuming you want patch to be backported.

I will update as above while merging.

There is not a high urgency to back port this. If chimney buffer setup
fails the driver is unusable anyway. It is more of a theoretical error condition.
