If sta_info_insert_finish() fails, we currently keep the station around and free it only in the caller, but there's only one such caller and it always frees it immediately. As syzbot found, another consequence of this split is that we can put things that sleep only into __cleanup_single_sta() and not in sta_info_free(), but this is the only place that requires such of sta_info_free() now. Change this to free the station in sta_info_insert_finish(), in which case we can still sleep. This will also let us unify the cleanup code later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
