Memory allocated by ieee80211_alloc_hw() will get orphaned
if any subsequent initializations fail.

Also don't pci_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL) until just before disabling
the PCI device. Functions called by rtl_deinit_core(hw) may eventually need
the context (when its actually implemented).

I would probably added a new label after the ieee80211_free_hw() and used it here to avoid the "if (hw)" test, but that is a matter of choice. In any case this patch is correct.
