Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: fix missing free of skb on error return path

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The error handling when the call to ath11k_hal_srng_get_entrysize fails
leaks skb, fix this by returning via the err_free return path that will
ensure the skb is free'd.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")
