gianfar: Fix a memory leak in gianfar close code

gianfar needed to ensure existence of the *skbuff arrays before
freeing the skbs in them, rather than ensuring their nonexistence.

since free_skb_[rx | tx]_queue() expects rx_queue->rx_skbuff to not be NULL
what about moving the conditional if(rx_queue->rx_skbuff)
in free_skb_rx_queue() and  if(tx_queue->tx_skbuff) in free_skb_tx_queue()
OR put an assertion for not NULL in those functions ?

Although some refactorings have been suggested, this fixes the bug
straightforwardly and is therefore the most appropriate fix for
net-2.6

Applied, thanks.
