wifi: libertas: fix memory leak in helper_firmware_cb()
helper_firmware_cb() neglects to free the single-stage firmware image
after a successful async load, leading to a memory leak in the USB
firmware-download path.
Fix this memory leak by calling release_firmware() immediately after
lbs_fw_loaded() returns.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in
the current wireless tree.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have
compatible Libertas USB hardware for exercising this firmware-download
path, no runtime testing was able to be performed.
