[PATCH][next] ath11k: fix error check on return from call to ath11k_core_firmware_request

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The call to ath11k_core_firmware_request is returning a pointer that
can be set to an error code, however, this is not being checked.
Instead ret is being incorrecly checked for the error return. Fix the
error checking.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")
Fixes: 7b57b2ddec21 ("ath11k: create a common function to request all firmware files")
