net/ieee80211: adjust error handling

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Converts a test in error handling code to a sequence of labels.

The semantic match that found the problem is:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

//

expression E,E1,E2;
@@

E = alloc_etherdev(...)
... when != E = E1
if (...) { ... free_netdev(E); ... return ...; }
... when != E = E2
(
  if (...)
   {
   ... when != free_netdev(E);
   return dev; }
|
* if (...)
   {
   ... when != free_netdev(E);
   return ...; }
|
register_netdev(E)
)
