Subject: [PATCH] test_firmware: fix a memory leak with reqs buffer
Dan Carpenter spotted that test_fw_config->reqs will be leaked if
trigger_batched_requests_store() is called two or more times.
The same appears with trigger_batched_requests_async_store().
This bug wasn't trigger by the tests, but observed by Dan's visual
inspection of the code.
The recommended workaround was to return -EBUSY if test_fw_config->reqs
is already allocated.
