CVE-2025-37874

When ngbeswinit() is called, memory is allocated for wx->rsskey in wxinitrsskey(). However, in ngbeprobe() function, the subsequent error paths after ngbeswinit() don't free the rsskey. Fix that by freeing it in error path along with wx->mac_table.

Also change the label to which execution jumps when ngbeswinit() fails, because otherwise, it could lead to a double free for rsskey, when the mactable allocation fails in wxswinit().
