Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 116/139] cfg80211: avoid mem leak on driver hint set

3.13.11-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@...ery.com>

commit 34f05f543f02350e920bddb7660ffdd4697aaf60 upstream.

In the already-set and intersect case of a driver-hint, the previous
wiphy regdomain was not freed before being reset with a copy of the
cfg80211 regdomain.
