Pavel Skripkin e9e6aa51b2 staging: rtl8712: error handling refactoring
There was strange error handling logic in case of fw load failure. For
some reason fw loader callback was doing clean up stuff when fw is not
available. I don't see any reason behind doing this. Since this driver
doesn't have EEPROM firmware let's just disconnect it in case of fw load
failure. Doing clean up stuff in 2 different place which can run
concurently is not good idea and syzbot found 2 bugs related to this
strange approach.

So, in this pacth I deleted all clean up code from fw callback and made
a call to device_release_driver() under device_lock(parent) in case of fw
load failure. This approach is more generic and it defend driver from UAF
bugs, since all clean up code is moved to one place.

Fixes: e02a3b9458 ("staging: rtl8712: fix memory leak in rtl871x_load_fw_cb")
Fixes: 8c213fa591 ("staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
