After rtw_usb_alloc_rx_bufs() has been called rx urbs have been
allocated and must be freed in the error path. After rtw_usb_init_rx()
has been called they are submitted, so they also must be killed.
Add these forgotten steps to the probe error path.
Besides the lost memory this also fixes a problem when the driver
fails to download the firmware in rtw_chip_info_setup(). In this
case it can happen that the completion of the rx urbs handler runs
at a time when we already freed our data structures resulting in
a kernel crash.

Fixes: a82dfd33d123 ("wifi: rtw88: Add common USB chip support")
I can fix that, no need to resend because of this.
