mwifiex: failure path handling in mwifiex_add_virtual_intf()
1) If register_netdevice() is failed, we are freeing netdev pointer, but priv->netdev is not cleared. This gives kernel paging request error when driver is unloaded or interface is deleted. Fix the problem by clearing the pointer. 2) Fix memory leak issue by freeing 'wdev' in failure paths. Also, clear priv->wdev pointer. As mwifiex_add_virtual_intf() successfully handles the failure conditions, redundant code under err_add_intf label is removed in this patch.
