Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: r8188eu: fix a potential memory leak in _rtw_init_cmd_priv()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

In _rtw_init_cmd_priv(), if `pcmdpriv->rsp_allocated_buf` is allocated
in failure, `pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf` is not properly released.
This patch is to free it.

Signed-off-by: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

ChangeLog:
v1->v2: simplify the function.
v2->v3: rebase and recover some whitespace cleanups.
