This is a cleanup of staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c regarding Coverity
resource leak findings.

The changes leave the current implementation intact and just attack the problems
in the error paths, however, it seems that we could get easily rid of some of
the mallocs altogether.

   char *input = kmalloc(wrqu->data.length, GFP_KERNEL);
   copy_from_user(input, wrqu->data.pointer, wrqu->data.length);
   qAutoLoad = strncmp(input, "autoload", 8);

v2: Resend after v1 failed to apply

   * rebased against staging-next - commit 09c3fbba (staging: rtl8188eu:
     Remove 'u8 *pbuf' from struct recv_buf)
   * fixed mua: no multipart, 7bit text/plain us-ascii

The series is compile tested and applies against branch staging-next of tree
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
