I don't understand - we have a fail_rate label here where we free
everything.

What if we get to fail_wiphy_register, don't we leak it in the same way?

Hi johannes:
	Thank you for your review. Sorry it took so long to reply. The
fail_rate label does not release the resources applied for in the
ieee80211_txq_setup_flows().  Or maybe I missed something?
	The fail_wiphy_register label will call
ieee80211_remove_interfaces()->ieee80211_txq_teardown_flows() to release
resources. So it is OK.
