Subject: [PATCH] brcm80211: Don't leak 'vbuffer' in brcmf_sdbrcm_write_vars()
If the memory allocation 'nvram_ularray = kmalloc(varsize,
GFP_ATOMIC);' fails we'll leak the memory allocated to 'vbuffer' when
we return -ENOMEM from the function.
This patch resolves the leak by kfree()'ing the allocated memory
before the return.
