[ Upstream commit fb9e67bee3ab7111513130c516ffe378d885c0d0 ]
'chan_stats' is (re)allocated in _mwifiex_fw_dpc() -> mwifiex_init_channel_scan_gap(), which is called whenever the device is initialized -- at probe or at reset.
But we only free it in we completely unregister the adapter, meaning we leak a copy of it during every reset.
Let's free it in the shutdown / removal paths instead (and in the error-handling path), to avoid the leak.
Ideally, we can eventually unify much of mwifiex_shutdown_sw() and mwifiex_remove_card() (way too much copy-and-paste) to reduce the burden on bugfixes like this. But that's work for tomorrow.
