[PATCH v1] wifi: mt76: mt792x: fix memory leak in USB TX path

When tx_prepare_skb() returns an error in the USB TX path, the
skb is not freed, leading to a memory leak. This can occur when
zero-length frames (such as WNM NULL frames) are dropped to prevent
potential hardware TX hangs.

Fix this by properly releasing the skb with ieee80211_tx_status_ext()
when tx_prepare_skb() fails.

Fixes: b40b15e1521f ("mt76: add usb support to mt76 layer")
