Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: mac80211: fix memory leak in ieee80211_register_hw()

When ieee80211_init_rate_ctrl_alg() failed in ieee80211_register_hw(),
it doesn't release local->fq. The memory leakage information is as
follows:
unreferenced object 0xffff888109cad400 (size 512):
  comm "insmod", pid 15145, jiffies 4295005736 (age 3670.100s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
