[04/12] brcmfmac: only call brcmf_cfg80211_detach() when attach was successful

In brcmf_bus_start() the function brcmf_cfg80211_attach() is called which
may fail. If this happens we should not call brcmf_cfg80211_detach() in
the failure path as it will result in NULL pointer dereference:

  brcmf_fweh_activate_events: Set event_msgs error (-5)
  brcmf_bus_start: failed: -5
  brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: dongle is not responding
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068
