wifi: rtlwifi: wait for firmware loading before releasing memory
[ Upstream commit b4b26642b31ef282df6ff7ea8531985edfdef12a ]
At probe error path, the firmware loading work may have already been
queued. In such a case, it will try to access memory allocated by the probe
function, which is about to be released. In such paths, wait for the
firmware worker to finish before releasing memory.
