Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 10/12] wifi: rtl8xxxu: Fix the error handling of the probe function

From: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 13876f2a087ad352bf640a7a0a4a4229ea6e9e4f ]

When the driver fails at ieee80211_alloc_hw() at the probe time, the
driver will free the 'hw' which is not allocated, causing a bug.

The following log can reveal it:

[   15.981294] BUG: KASAN: user-memory-access in mutex_is_locked+0xe/0x40
[   15.981558] Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000001ab0 by task modprobe/373
[   15.982583] Call Trace:
[   15.984282]  ieee80211_free_hw+0x22/0x390
[   15.984446]  rtl8xxxu_probe+0x3a1/0xab30 [rtl8xxxu]

Fix the bug by changing the order of the error handling.
