Hi Ping-Ke,

Thanks for the review.

I'll share the RX submission path between startup and the RX worker,
while preserving the different handling of fatal errors during startup.

I'll also remove the shutdown initialization added in probe. For v3,
I'll test the actual start() -> error_out -> stop() paths with targeted
fault injection, including failures at the different startup stages, to
make sure partially initialized resources are handled safely.

Regarding the Fixes tag, this patch addresses functional startup error
handling rather than only refactoring: an allocation failure can leave
already active RX requests behind, and a later allocation failure can
also return success with ret still zero. I'll make these failure cases
clearer in the commit message and include the validation results in v3.

Thanks,
Wooseok
