Subject: [34-longterm 083/179] ath5k: fix memory leak when fewer than N_PD_CURVES are in use

From: "Eugene A. Shatokhin" <dame_eugene@...l.ru>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit a0b8de350be458b33248e48b2174d9af8a4c4798 upstream.

We would free the proper number of curves, but in the wrong
slots, due to a missing level of indirection through
the pdgain_idx table.

It's simpler just to try to free all four slots, so do that.
