Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: fix memory leak in nl80211_get_ftm_responder_stats

In nl80211_get_ftm_responder_stats, a new skb is created via nlmsg_new
named msg. If nl80211hdr_put() fails, then msg should be released. The
return statement should be replace by goto to error handling code.

Fixes: 81e54d08d9d8 ("cfg80211: support FTM responder configuration/statistics")
