Subject: [PATCHv4 2/2] staging: wilc1000: replace MALLOC_WILC_BUFFER() macro to avoid possible memory leak

The MALLOC_WILC_BUFFER() macro was using a return statement, and didn't
take care of possible memory leaks and subsequent bugs when it was failing
after succeeding some allocations. This patch corrects this behavior.
