The only caller (mwifiex_set_mef_filter) passes that pointer as an offset into allocated memory, so any attempt to free that will not be the actual allocated pointer. Address this by changing mwifiex_set_wowlan_mef_entry to not do any free, and to cause mwifiex_set_mef_filter to do the appropriate free if the call to mwifiex_set_wowlan_mef_entry fails.
