Subject: [PATCH][wireless-next] qtnfmac: check band before allocating cmd_skb to avoid resource leak

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The current code allocates cmd_skb and then will leak this if band->band
is an illegal value. It is simpler to sanity check the band first before
allocating cmd_skb so that we don't have to free cmd_skb if an invalid
band occurs.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1437561 ("Resource Leak")
