[PATCH 5.4 009/156] wifi: cfg80211: fix memory leak in query_regdb_file()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Arend van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 57b962e627ec0ae53d4d16d7bd1033e27e67677a ]

In the function query_regdb_file() the alpha2 parameter is duplicated
using kmemdup() and subsequently freed in regdb_fw_cb(). However,
request_firmware_nowait() can fail without calling regdb_fw_cb() and
thus leak memory.

Fixes: 007f6c5e6eb4 ("cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware file")
