libertas: Fix possible memory leak in probe and disconnect
[ Upstream commit 9692151e2fe7a326bafe99836fd1f20a2cc3a049 ]
I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

cardp is missing being freed in the error handling path of the probe
and the path of the disconnect, which will cause memory leak.
This patch adds the missing kfree().
