[ Upstream commit 1b78dd34560e9962f8e917fe4adde6f2ab0eb89f ]

This reverts commit b970ac68e0c4 ("wifi: mac80211_hwsim: check the
return value of nla_put_u32") since it introduced a memory leak in
the error path, which seems worse than sending an incomplete skb,
and the put can't fail anyway since the SKB was just allocated.
