Subject: [PATCH 4.9 054/139] mwifiex: fix double free

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 53708f4fd9cfe389beab5c8daa763bcd0e0b4aef ]

clang static analysis reports this problem:

sdio.c:2403:3: warning: Attempt to free released memory
        kfree(card->mpa_rx.buf);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When mwifiex_init_sdio() fails in its first call to
mwifiex_alloc_sdio_mpa_buffer, it falls back to calling it
again.  If the second alloc of mpa_tx.buf fails, the error
handler will try to free the old, previously freed mpa_rx.buf.
Reviewing the code, it looks like a second double free would
happen with mwifiex_cleanup_sdio().

So set both pointers to NULL when they are freed.
