#1282186 — [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 078/164] nl80211: Fix potential memory leak from parse_acl_data

3.19.8-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ola Olsson <ola1olsson@gmail.com>

commit 4baf6bea37247e59f1971e8009d13aeda95edba2 upstream.

If parse_acl_data succeeds but the subsequent parsing of smps
attributes fails, there will be a memory leak due to early returns.
Fix that by moving the ACL parsing later.

Fixes: 18998c381b19b ("cfg80211: allow requesting SMPS mode on ap start")
