    wifi: ath12k: fix uaf in ath12k_core_init()

    When the execution of ath12k_core_hw_group_assign() or
    ath12k_core_hw_group_create() fails, the registered notifier chain is not
    unregistered properly. Its memory is freed after rmmod, which may trigger
    to a use-after-free (UAF) issue if there is a subsequent access to this
    notifier chain.

    Fixes the issue by calling ath12k_core_panic_notifier_unregister() in
    failure cases.
