From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com>
There is an earlier null check on pointer dev which implies it may be null,
however the assignment of pointer pref and the call to free_ieee82011 on
a null dev can cause null pointer dereference errors. Fix this by moving
the assignment of priv and the the call to free_ieee80211 into the block of
code that performs the null dev sanity check.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#143078 ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 8fc8598e61f6 ("Staging: Added Realtek rtl8192u driver to staging")
