Fix double free_netdev when mhi_prepare_for_transfer fails.

Fixes: 3ffec6a14f24 ("net: Add mhi-net driver")
Signed-off-by: Daniele Palmas <redacted>

I guess this patch should be backported to stable kernels. So please CC stable
list.

Just v5.14.x seems to be affected by the same issue, but it requires a
slightly different patch: I'll try to take care of that.

Thanks,
Daniele
