Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: don't return err unconditionally in nl80211_start_ap()
Git-commit: bc7a39b4272b9672d806d422b6850e8c1a09914c
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc5
References: jsc#SLE-13430

When a memory leak was fixed, a return err was changed to goto err,
but, accidentally, the if (err) was removed, so now we always exit at
this point.

Fix it by adding if (err) back.
