[PATCHv2 5/5] staging: wilc1000: replace MALLOC_WILC_BUFFER() macro to avoid possible memory leak

From: RaphaÃl Beamonte
Date: Mon Aug 17 2015 - 15:29:33 EST


The MACRO_WILC_BUFFER() macro was using a return statement, and didn't
take care of possible memory leaks and subsequent bugs when it was failing
after succeeding some allocations. This patch corrects this behavior.
