If "txq->cmd = kzalloc(...)" in il_tx_queue_init fails,
"kfree(txq->cmd[i])" in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free
in iwl4965_hw_txq_ctx_free will causes a null pointer dereference,
because txq->cmd is NULL at that time.
This patch fixes this problem by adding a if-check before kfree.
To avoid double free in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free
caused by the fixing, txq->meta and txq->cmd in error handling code
of il_tx_queue_init are assigned null values.
Otherwise, a double free will occur.
This patch has been tested in real device, and it actually fixes the bug.
Thanks Stanislaw for his suggestion.
