[PATCH v3] staging : rtl8712: Free memory when kmalloc fails

There are few functions where we need to free previously allocated memory
when kmalloc fails. Else it may lead to memory leakage. In  _init_cmd_priv()
and _r8712_init_xmit_priv(), in few places we are not freeing previously
allocated memory when kmalloc fails.
