KASAN reported 'struct wireless_dev wdev' was read after being freed.
Fix by freeing after the access.

I would rather like to see the KASAN report, because something is off
here. This function is called with wdev as a parameter so how can it be
accessed after free here? brcmf_remove_interface() does not free the
wdev nor the brcmf_cfg80211_vif instance which contains the wdev.

Sure, https://quora.org/kernel/brcmfmac/dmesg.txt

vmlinux, cfg80211.o, brcmfmac.o and config are in the same path; this
is against v4.9.13 stock.
