Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rt2x00: Fix memory leak when handling surveys

When removing a rt2x00 device, its associated channel surveys
are not freed, causing a memory leak observable with kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff9620f0881a00 (size 512):

Fix this by freeing the channel surveys on device removal.

Tested with a RT3070 based USB wireless adapter.
