staging: r8188eu: Fix potential memory leak or NULL dereference

Browse source

In routine c2h_wk_callback(() following a kmalloc() call, the
error recovery is flawed. If the kmalloc() returns a pointer
that is not NULL, and the following c2h_evt_read() fails, the
code will leak that buffer. If the kmalloc() fails, a NULL
dereference will occur in the following code.
