Subject: [PATCH 4.0 129/148] iwlwifi: mvm: Free fw_status after use to avoid memory leak

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

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

From: Haim Dreyfuss <haim.dreyfuss@...el.com>

commit 2fc863a5143d64b8f06576cc3d7fd5622c5cf3b5 upstream.

fw_status is the only pointer pointing to a block of memory
allocated above and should be freed after use.
Note: this come from Klockwork static analyzer.
