[ Upstream commit 89142d34d5602c7447827beb181fa06eb08b9d5c ]

Currently, in ath12k_service_ready_ext_event(), svc_rdy_ext.mac_phy_caps
is not freed in the failure case, causing a memory leak. The following
trace is observed in kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff8b3eb5789c00 (size 1024):

Free svc_rdy_ext.mac_phy_caps in the error case to fix this memory leak.
