Memory allocated by ieee80211_alloc_hw() will get orphaned

Also don't pci_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL) until just before disabling
the PCI device. Functions called by rtl_deinit_core(hw) may eventually
need
the context (when its actually implemented).

I would probably added a new label after the ieee80211_free_hw() and
used it here to avoid the "if (hw)" test, but that is a matter of
choice. In any case this patch is correct.

Thanks,

Actually, I started doing that but it turned into a huge patch, so I just decided to solved the immediate issue (discovered by inspection). There are some other setup/teardown nonorthogonalities that need fixing first (which I'm pursuing as time allows).
