Subject: [PATCH 4.14 061/183] mac80211_hwsim: fix possible memory leak in hwsim_new_radio_nl()

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

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

From: "weiyongjun (A)" <weiyongjun1@...wei.com>


[ Upstream commit 0ddcff49b672239dda94d70d0fcf50317a9f4b51 ]

'hwname' is malloced in hwsim_new_radio_nl() and should be freed
before leaving from the error handling cases, otherwise it will cause
memory leak.
