Subject: [PATCH 4.20 010/352] ath10k: fixup extended per sta tx statistics

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

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

[ Upstream commit 539b44e70c5b4ad82d2c0c97a4dfb37523d891f6 ]

I had a couple concerns with this code.  First, we definitely need to
set the error code if the kzalloc() fails.  Secondly, I was worried that
if we didn't set "arsta->tx_stats" to NULL after freeing it, then it
looks to me like it might lead to a use after free.  I can't test that,
but it's harmless to set it to NULL so I did.
