Releases resources and deregisters the stucture pointer ar passed by the caller to the function, ath10k_core_register_work
if unable to probe the structure pointer successfully with a call to ath10k_core_probe_fw. Further more if this happerns
we must first jump to the label err for the goto statement required to jump to handle this particular error in the function,
ath10k_core_register_work. After we are in the correct error section we must free the resources for the structure pointer,ar
with a call to the function, ath10k_core_unregister to free resources allocated for the structure pointer,ar.
