There is a check on pmlmepriv before dereferencing it when
vfree'ing pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf however the previous call
to rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data deferences pmlmepriv causing
a null pointer deference if it is null.  Avoid this by also
calling rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data if the pointer is non-null.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1230262 ("Dereference before null check")
