wifi: cfg80211: fix double free for link_sinfo in nl80211_station_dump()

Currently, the link_sinfo structure is being freed twice in
nl80211_dump_station(), once after the send_station() call and again
in the error handling path. This results in a double free of both
link_sinfo and link_sinfo->pertid, which might lead to undefined
behavior or kernel crashes.

Hence, fix by ensuring cfg80211_sinfo_release_content() is only
invoked once during execution of nl80211_station_dump().
