Add these forgotten steps to the probe error path.

Besides the lost memory this also fixes a problem when the driver
fails to download the firmware in rtw_chip_info_setup(). In this
case it can happen that the completion of the rx urbs handler runs
at a time when we already freed our data structures resulting in
a kernel crash.
