From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
There is a check on pmlmepriv before dereferencing it when
vfree'ing pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf however the previous call
to rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data deferences pmlmepriv causing
a null pointer deference if it is null. Avoid this by also
calling rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data if the pointer is non-null.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1230262 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 7b464c9fa5cc ("staging: r8188eu: Add files for new driver - part 4")
