net/qlcnic: Fix a use after free in qlcnic_83xx_get_minidump_template
[ Upstream commit db74623a3850db99cb9692fda9e836a56b74198d ]
In qlcnic_83xx_get_minidump_template, fw_dump->tmpl_hdr was freed by
vfree(). But unfortunately, it is used when extended is true.
Fixes: 7061b2bdd620e ("qlogic: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls")
