Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: avoid null pointer dereference on pmlmepriv
Git-commit: ec14121931a24f8d3678b8a9c408adee3b21d465
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc4
References: bsc#1051510

There is a check to see if pmlmepriv is null before vfree'ing
pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf hence implying pmlmepriv could potenially be
null. However, a previous call to rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data
can also dereference pmlmepriv, so move this call so that it is only
called if pmlmepriv non-null.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1077739 ("Dereference before null check")
