[PATCH v2 5/5] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_mp_pwrtrk()

[Christian Engelmayer]

Function rtw_mp_pwrtrk() dynamically allocates a temporary buffer that
is not freed in all error paths. Use a centralized exit path and make sure
that all memory is freed correctly. Detected by Coverity - 1077715.
