[lvc-project] [PATCH v3] wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: clean up skbs if ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() fails

Syzkaller detected a memory leak of skbs in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream().
While processing skbs in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream(), the already allocated
skbs in skb_pool are not freed if ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() fails. If we
have an incorrect pkt_len or pkt_tag, the input skb is considered invalid
and dropped. All the associated packets already in skb_pool should be
dropped and freed. Added a comment describing this issue.

The patch also makes remain_skb NULL after being processed so that it
cannot be referenced after potential free. The initialization of hif_dev
fields which are associated with remain_skb (rx_remain_len,
rx_transfer_len and rx_pad_len) is moved after a new remain_skb is
allocated. 

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

Fixes: 6ce708f54cc8 ("ath9k: Fix out-of-bound memcpy in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream")
Fixes: 44b23b488d44 ("ath9k: hif_usb: Reduce indent 1 column")
