Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 34/47] mwl8k: Fix use-after-free in mwl8k_fw_state_machine()

From: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 257051a235c17e33782b6e24a4b17f2d7915aaec ]

When the driver fails to request the firmware, it calls its error
handler. In the error handler, the driver detaches device from driver
first before releasing the firmware, which can cause a use-after-free bug.

Fix this by releasing firmware first.

The following log reveals it:
