In a scenario where there isn't any firmware available, we will have a
double kfree of rt2x00dev->spec.channels_info when ieee80211_register_h=
w
returns an error status inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw.

The problem is that if ieee80211_register_hw fails, we call
rt2x00lib_remove_hw twice:
* first inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw upon failure of ieee80211_register_hw
* error status is returned to rt2x00lib_probe_dev, which then sees it a=
nd
  calls in this case rt2x00lib_remove_dev that will again run
  rt2x00lib_remove_hw

Prevent this avoiding calling rt2x00lib_remove_hw inside
rt2x00lib_probe_hw

Problem was detected with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=3Dy, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=
=3Dy,
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=3Dy, that dumps this with no firmware available:
