Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 01/18] wifi: mac80211: fix memory free error when registering wiphy fail

From: taozhang <taozhang@...technic.com>

[ Upstream commit 50b2e8711462409cd368c41067405aa446dfa2af ]

ieee80211_register_hw free the allocated cipher suites when
registering wiphy fail, and ieee80211_free_hw will re-free it.

set wiphy_ciphers_allocated to false after freeing allocated
cipher suites.
