[PATCH ath-current] wifi: ath12k: Fix failure to create ath12k_dp_peer on MLO reconnect

[Miaoqing Pan]

In ath12k_mac_op_sta_state(), when transitioning an MLO station from
IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST to IEEE80211_STA_NONE, after ath12k_dp_peer_create()
succeeds, on is_sta_assoc_link verification failure, it takes the
'goto exit' path instead of 'goto peer_delete', leaving a stale dp_peer on
the dp_peers_list.

On the next connection attempt, ath12k_dp_peer_create() finds the stale
entry and returns -EEXIST (-17):

    wlP4p1s0: failed to insert STA entry for the AP (error -17)

Fix it by changing 'goto exit' to 'goto free_unassign_link'.

Also, there is another error path in ath12k_mac_op_sta_state() that
jumps to peer_delete after ath12k_mac_assign_link_sta() succeeds, without
undoing the assignment through ath12k_mac_free_unassign_link_sta().
As a result, the link RCU pointer remains assigned and a stale bit is
left in ahsta->links_map, which can trigger the same -EEXIST failure
on subsequent reconnect attempts. Fix this by redirecting that error
path to free_unassign_link instead.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c7-00108-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ_UPSTREAM-3
