[PATCH v3 1/3] ath11k: Fix double free issue during SRNG deinit

[Manikanta Pubbisetty]

Currently struct ath11k_hal::srng_config pointer is not assigned
to NULL after freeing the memory in ath11k_hal_srng_deinit().
This could lead to double free issue in a scenario where
ath11k_hal_srng_deinit() is invoked back to back.

In the current code, although the chances are very low, the above
said scenario could happen when hardware recovery has failed and
then there is another FW assert where ath11k_hal_srng_deinit() is
invoked once again as part of recovery. Addressing this issue is
important when low power mode support is enabled in the driver
(will be added by a future patch) where this scenario is likely.

Fix this by assigning the struct ath11k_hal::srng_config pointer
to NULL after freeing the memory.
