kernel: vmxnet3: disable rx data ring on dma allocation failure

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's vmxnet3 driver in the vmxnet3rqcreate function, where this issue occurs when memory allocation fails for the RX data ring, leading to an improper reference size that may cause the hypervisor to access invalid memory during packet reception, which ca...
