When parse_pmsr_capa failed in hwsim_new_radio_nl, the memory resources
applied for by pmsr_capa are not released. Add release processing to the
incorrect path.

This should not be needed, see below.

Why don't you just move this line up before the parse_pmsr_capa as there is
already a kfree(param.pmsr_capa) under the out_free label?


Hi Steen:
	Your suggestion looks good. I will send V2.
