mwl8k: Fix use-after-free in mwl8k_fw_state_machine()

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 257051a235 ]

When the driver fails to request the firmware, it calls its error
handler. In the error handler, the driver detaches device from driver
first before releasing the firmware, which can cause a use-after-free bug.

Fix this by releasing firmware first.

The following log reveals it:
