When resetting the device, we take a synchronous firmware-loading code
path, which borrows a lot from the asynchronous path used at probe time.
We don't catch errors correctly though, which means that in the PCIe
driver, we may try to dereference the 'adapter' struct after
mwifiex_fw_dpc() has freed it. See this (erronous) print in
mwifiex_pcie_reset_notify():
mwifiex_dbg(adapter, INFO, "%s, successful\n", __func__);
Let's instead refactor the synchronous (or "!req_fw_nowait") path so
that we propagate errors and handle them properly.
This fixes a use-after-free issue in the PCIe driver, as well as a
misleading debug message ("successful"). It looks like the SDIO driver
doesn't have these problems, since it doesn't do anything after
mwifiex_reinit_sw().
Fixes:

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
