The wilc_wfi_init_mon_int() forgets to clean up resource when
register_netdevice() failed. Add the missed call to fix it.
And the return value of netdev_priv can't be NULL, so remove
the unnecessary error handling.

Fixes: 588713006ea4 ("staging: wilc1000: avoid the use of 'wilc_wfi_mon' static variable")
