[PATCH v5 1/2] mt76: mt7915: fix hwmon temp sensor mem use-after-free

From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>

Without this change, garbage is seen in the hwmon name and sensors output
for mt7915 is garbled. It appears that the hwmon logic does not make a
copy of the incoming string, but instead just copies a char* and expects
it to never go away.

v5:  Use devm_kstrdup on the wiphy name as suggested.
v4:  Simplify flow.
v3:  Add 'fixes' tag to aid backports.
