[PATCH] mac80211: fix statistics leak if dev_alloc_name() fails

[Johannes Berg]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In the case that dev_alloc_name() fails, e.g. because the name was
given by the user and already exists, we need to clean up properly
and free the per-CPU statistics. Fix that.
