iwlwifi: pnvm: Fix a memory leak in 'iwl_pnvm_get_from_fs()'
[ Upstream commit 45010c080e6e7434fcae73212b0087a03590049f ]
A firmware is requested but never released in this function. This leads to
a memory leak in the normal execution path.
Add the missing 'release_firmware()' call.
Also introduce a temp variable (new_len) in order to keep the value of
'pnvm->size' after the firmware has been released.
Fixes: cdda18fbbefa ("iwlwifi: pnvm: move file loading code to a separate function")
