test_firmware: fix a memory leak bug
In test_firmware_init(), the buffer pointed to by the global pointer
'test_fw_config' is allocated through kzalloc(). Then, the buffer is
initialized in __test_firmware_config_init(). In the case that the
initialization fails, the following execution in test_firmware_init() needs
to be terminated with an error code returned to indicate this failure.
However, the allocated buffer is not freed on this execution path, leading
to a memory leak bug.
To fix the above issue, free the allocated buffer before returning from
test_firmware_init().
