[PATCH v3] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_set_key()

[Christian Engelmayer <cengelma@xxxxxx>]

Fix a potential leak in the error path of rtw_set_key(). In case the requested
algorithm is not supported by the driver, the function returns without
enqueuing or freeing the already allocated command and parameter structs. Use
a centralized exit path and make sure that all memory is freed correctly.
Detected by Coverity - CID 1077716, 1077717.

v3: Resend after v2 failed to apply

   * rebased against staging-next - commit 09c3fbba (staging: rtl8188eu:
     Remove 'u8 *pbuf' from struct recv_buf)
   * fixed mua: no multipart, 7bit text/plain us-ascii

v2: Added changes requested by Dan Carpenter:

   * Just return directly where no cleanup is needed.
   * Prefer naming labels by the labeled action rather than the goto location.

Compile tested and applies against branch staging-next of tree
