staging: rtl8723bs: fix memory leak on failure path

[ Upstream commit abe850d ]

cfg80211_inform_bss_frame() may return NULL on failure. In that case,
the allocated buffer 'buf' is not freed and the function returns early,
leading to potential memory leak.
Fix this by ensuring that 'buf' is freed on both success and failure paths.
