 FIX kmalloc-512: Object at 0xffff88007e8a9918 not freed

The code path which leads to the *funny* double free:

       request = rdev->scan_req;
       dev = dev_get_by_index(&init_net, request->ifidx);
	/*
	 * the driver was unloaded recently and
	 * therefore dev_get_by_index will return NULL!
	 */
        if (!dev)
                goto out;
	[...]
	rdev->scan_req = NULL; /* not executed... */
	[...]
 out:
        kfree(request);
