Subject: [PATCH v2 wireless-drivers 2/2] libertas: Fix possible memory leak in probe and disconnect

I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

unreferenced object 0xffff88812c7d7400 (size 512):

cardp is missing being freed in the error handling path of the probe
and the path of the disconnect, which will cause memory leak.

This patch adds the missing kfree().
