Subject: [PATCH 3/3] wifi: ath9k: fix ath9k_wmi_cmd return value when device is unplugged

Return with an error code in case the USB device has been already
unplugged. Otherwise the callers of ath9k_wmi_cmd() are unaware of the
fact that cmd_buf and rsp_buf are not initialized or handled properly
inside this function.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

Fixes: a3be14b76da1 ("ath9k_htc: Handle device unplug properly")
