Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: fix failure path when power_update fails in add_interface
From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>
commit fd66fc1cafd72ddf27dbec3a5e29e99839d1bc84 upstream.
When iwl_mvm_power_update_mac() is called, we have already added the
mac context, so if this call fails we should remove the mac.
Fixes: commit e5e7aa8e2561 ('iwlwifi: mvm: refactor power code')
