Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Fix memory leak on reduce_power_data buffer

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

In the error case where the TLV length is invalid the allocated
reduce_power_data buffer pointer is set to ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) without
first kfree'ing any previous allocated memory. Fix this memory
leak by kfree'ing it before taking the error return path.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
Fixes: 9dad325f9d57 ("iwlwifi: support loading the reduced power table from UEFI")
