wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: fix memory leak of remain_skbs

stable inclusion
from stable-v5.10.180
commit 320d760a35273aa815d58b57e4fd9ba5279a3489
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8DDFN

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=320d760a35273aa815d58b57e4fd9ba5279a3489



--------------------------------

[ Upstream commit 7654cc03 ]

hif_dev->remain_skb is allocated and used exclusively in
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream(). It is implied that an allocated remain_skb is
processed and subsequently freed (in error paths) only during the next
call of ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream().

So, if the urbs are deallocated between those two calls due to the device
deinitialization or suspend, it is possible that ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream()
is not called next time and the allocated remain_skb is leaked. Our local
Syzkaller instance was able to trigger that.

remain_skb makes sense when receiving two consecutive urbs which are
logically linked together, i.e. a specific data field from the first skb
indicates a cached skb to be allocated, memcpy'd with some data and
subsequently processed in the next call to ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream(). Urbs
deallocation supposedly makes that link irrelevant so we need to free the
cached skb in those cases.

Fix the leak by introducing a function to explicitly free remain_skb (if
it is not NULL) when the rx urbs have been deallocated. remain_skb is NULL
when it has not been allocated at all (hif_dev struct is kzalloced) or
when it has been processed in next call to ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
