[ Upstream commit 960412bee0ea75f6b3c2dca4a3535795ee84c47a ]

Currently the buffer pointed by event is not freed in case
ATH12K_FLAG_UNREGISTERING bit is set, this causes memory leak.

Add a goto skip instead of return, to ensure event and all the
list entries are freed properly.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
