Subject: iwlwifi: pcie: prevent using unmapped memory in fw monitor
From: Liad Kaufman <liad.kaufman@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 553452e5ffc0ed13214a287549627d02d9d7fbdc upstream.
In the case of a DMA mapping error on the last iteration of
the loop of the allocation of memory of the FW monitor we
indeed free the pages, but don't NULL out the page variable
thus allowing for the possibility of setting the FW monitor
variables with invalid data to use.
Fixes: c2d202017da1 ("iwlwifi: pcie: add firmware monitor capabilities")
