[PATCH][next] rsi: fix missing null pointer check from a failed ieee80211_probereq_get call

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

The call to ieee80211_probereq_get can return NULL if a skb allocation
fails, so add a null pointer check and free an earlier skb on the error
exit return path.

Fixes: 7fdcb8e12660 ("rsi: add support for hardware scan offload")
