wifi: ath11k: fix memory leak in ath11k_xxx_remove()

The firmware memory was allocated in ath11k_pci_probe() or ath11k_ahb_probe(), but not freed in ath11k_xxx_remove() in case ATH11K_FLAG_QMI_FAIL bit is set. So call ath11k_fw_destroy() to free the memory. Found while fixing the same problem in ath12k: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20240314012746.2729101-1-quic_miaoqing@quicinc.com Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-04546-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_IOE-1 Signed-off-by: Miaoqing Pan <quic_miaoqing@quicinc.com> Reviewed-by: Aditya Kumar Singh <aditya.kumar.singh@oss.qualcomm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250123084948.1124357-1-quic_miaoqing@quicinc.com Signed-off-by: Jeff Johnson <jeff.johnson@oss.qualcomm.com>
