3.16.54-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 123c0aab0050cd0e07ce18e453389fbbb0a5a425 upstream.
There is a check on pmlmepriv before dereferencing it when
vfree'ing pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf however the previous call
to rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data deferences pmlmepriv causing
a null pointer deference if it is null. Avoid this by also
calling rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data if the pointer is non-null.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1230262 ("Dereference before null check")
