Subject: [PATCH 5.4 15/67] staging: rtl8712: handle firmware load failure

From: Rustam Kovhaev <rkovhaev@...il.com>

commit b4383c971bc5263efe2b0915ba67ebf2bf3f1ee5 upstream.

when firmware fails to load we should not call unregister_netdev()
this patch fixes a race condition between rtl871x_load_fw_cb() and
r871xu_dev_remove() and fixes the bug reported by syzbot
