## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix error path in rtl_pci_probe()

In the last error path in rtl_pci_probe(), the cleanup functions are
skipped due to a wrong goto label. Moreover, the successful call to
rtl_init_rfkill(), ieee80211_register_hw(), rtl_debug_add_one() have to
be reverted. Fix this issue by updating the labels and adding the
relevant cleanup functions to the last error path.

## Remediation
