[PATCH v2 3/5] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_mp_QueryDrv()

[Christian Engelmayer]

Function rtw_mp_QueryDrv() 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 - CID 1077713.
