Subject: [PATCH 16/75] cfg80211: fix wiphy_register error path

3.8.13.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 03cd7e4e1ea16cd151c799a33b5ca1fd41a464df upstream.

If rfkill_register() fails in wiphy_register() the struct device
is unregistered but everything else isn't (regulatory, debugfs)
and we even leave the wiphy instance on all internal lists even
though it will likely be freed soon, which is clearly a problem.
Fix this by cleaning up properly.
