Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Fix memory leaks in error handling path

Should an error occur (invalid TLV len or memory allocation failure), the
memory already allocated in 'reduce_power_data' should be freed before
returning, otherwise it is leaking.

Fixes: 9dad325f9d57 ("iwlwifi: support loading the reduced power table from UEFI")
