[PATCH] drivers/staging/wlan-ng/p80211conv.c: fixed a potential memory leak

From: Lynn Lei
Date: Tue Aug 08 2017 - 11:06:40 EST


Fixed a potential memory leak inside skb_ether_to_p80211()
When the wep_encrypt() fails the code return 2 directly
Which causes the p80211_wep->data dangling

Add a kfree statement to reclaim that memory allocated
