[PATCH net] net: wwan: iosm: Fix memory leak in ipc_mux_deinit()

[Zilin Guan]

Commit 1f52d7b62285 ("net: wwan: iosm: Enable M.2 7360 WWAN card support")
allocated memory for pp_qlt in ipc_mux_init() but did not free it in
ipc_mux_deinit(). This results in a memory leak when the driver is
unloaded.

Free the allocated memory in ipc_mux_deinit() to fix the leak.

May this variable be defined in the loop header instead?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I would prefer to keep the declaration at the top of the block to maintain 
consistency with the existing coding style of this function and to keep 
the patch focused strictly on the fix.

Do you tend to interpret such information still as the beginning
of the function implementation?

Would the mentioned variable be relevant only for an additional if branch?

I prefer to strictly follow the existing coding style of the current file, 
where all local variables are declared at the top of the function. I do 
not wish to mix different declaration styles in this patch.

If you believe the file should be converted to C99 style, that would be 
better handled in a separate cleanup patch for the entire file, rather 
than mixing it into this bug fix.
