[PATCH] ath10k: fix memory leak of tpc_stats

From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2018-05-27 21:17:11
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, qualcomm atheros ath10k wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Linus Torvalds

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

Currently tpc_stats is allocated and is leaked on the return
path if num_tx_chain is greater than WMI_TPC_TX_N_CHAIN. Avoid
this leak by performing the check on num_tx_chain before the
allocation of tpc_stats.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1469422 ("Resource Leak")
Fixes: 4b190675ad06 ("ath10k: fix kernel panic while reading tpc_stats")
