wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix memory leak when skb_linearize fails in mcu rx event

The ownership of sk_buff skb is passed to mt7921_queue_rx_skb, each
path inside it under the switch case handles cleaning of skb and it
is true for mt7921_mcu_rx_event as well.

mt7921_mcu_rx_event, on a success path, either queues skb via
mt76_mcu_rx_event or cleans it immediately inside
mt7921_mcu_uni_rx_unsolicited_event.

However inside mt7921_mcu_rx_event, if skb_linearize fails, the function
returns immediately and never bothers cleaning skb which leaks skb.

Since skb is fully owned at this point, it is safe to call
dev_kfree_skb which fixes the leak.

Granted, the skb_linearize failure is rare as it can only fail under
heavy memory usage, but at the same time, leaking memory under heavy
memory usage can worsen the OOM condition.
