[PATCH v2] wifi: mt76: mt792x: fix memory leak in USB TX path

[Eason Lai]

When errors occur in mt76u_tx_queue_skb(), the skb is not properly
freed, leading to memory leaks. This can happen when the queue is
full, when tx_prepare_skb() drops zero-length frames (such as WNM
NULL frames) to prevent hardware TX hangs, or when buffer setup
fails.

Fix this by:
1. properly releasing the skb with ieee80211_tx_status_ext()
   when the queue is full or tx_prepare_skb() fails
2. using mt76_tx_complete_skb() when mt76u_tx_setup_buffers()
   fails, since tx_prepare_skb() has already succeeded and may
   have allocated resources that need cleanup

Fixes: b40b15e1521f ("mt76: add usb support to mt76 layer")
