Subject: [PATCH net] mac80211: free netdev on dev_alloc_name() error

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

The change to remove free_netdev() from ieee80211_if_free()
erroneously didn't add the necessary free_netdev() for when
ieee80211_if_free() is called directly in one place, rather
than as the priv_destructor. Add the missing call.

Fixes: cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.")
