[ Upstream commit 1b24394ed5c8a8d8f7b9e3aa9044c31495d46f2e ]

Kmemleak reported this error:

  unreferenced object 0xffff1c165cec3060 (size 32):
    comm "insmod", pid 560, jiffies 4296964570 (age 235.596s)

The firmware memory was allocated in ath12k_pci_probe(), but not
freed in ath12k_pci_remove() in case ATH12K_FLAG_QMI_FAIL bit is
set. So call ath12k_fw_unmap() to free the memory.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.2.0-02280-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1
