There are two safety checks which, on error, will go to
cfg80211_sinfo_release_content(), at a point where `sinfo` has not been
initialized to zero or populated with allocated pointers. Bypass
cfg80211_sinfo_release_content() from those two goto's, but also
explicitly clear `sinfo` on declaration to prevent any such issues
in the future.
