Subject: [PATCH 5.14 159/168] iwlwifi: pnvm: Fix a memory leak in iwl_pnvm_get_from_fs()

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit 45010c080e6e7434fcae73212b0087a03590049f ]

A firmware is requested but never released in this function. This leads to
a memory leak in the normal execution path.

Add the missing 'release_firmware()' call.
Also introduce a temp variable (new_len) in order to keep the value of
'pnvm->size' after the firmware has been released.

Fixes: cdda18fbbefa ("iwlwifi: pnvm: move file loading code to a separate function")
