Fix a potential leak in the error path of function update_bcn_wps_ie().
Move the affected input verification to the beginning of the function so
that it may return directly without leaking already allocated memory.
Detected by Coverity - CID 1077718.
Signed-off-by: Christian Engelmayer <cengelma@xxxxxx>

v2: Added change suggested by Mateusz Guzik:
Move the check before allocating the memory instead of freeing the
resource afterwards in the error path.
Compile tested and applies against branch staging-next of tree
