Subject[PATCH v3] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in update_bcn_wps_ie()
Fix a potential leak in the error path of function update_bcn_wps_ie().
Move the affected input verification to the beginning of the function so
that it may return directly without leaking already allocated memory.
Detected by Coverity - CID 1077718.

Signed-off-by: Christian Engelmayer <cengelma@gmx.at>

v3: Resend after v2 failed to apply

* rebased against staging-next - commit 09c3fbba (staging: rtl8188eu:
Remove 'u8 *pbuf' from struct recv_buf)
* fixed mua: no multipart, 7bit text/plain us-ascii

v2: Added change suggested by Mateusz Guzik for the rtl8723au variant:

Move the check before allocating the memory instead of freeing the
resource afterwards in the error path.

Compile tested and applies against branch staging-next of tree
