Subject: [PATCH 4.14 114/186] iwlwifi: fix leaks/bad data after failed firmware load

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit ab07506b0454bea606095951e19e72c282bfbb42 ]

If firmware load fails after having loaded some parts of the
firmware, e.g. the IML image, then this would leak. For the
host command list we'd end up running into a WARN on the next
attempt to load another firmware image.

Fix this by calling iwl_dealloc_ucode() on failures, and make
that also clear the data so we start fresh on the next round.
