wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_pci_remove()

Kmemleak reported this error:

  unreferenced object 0xffff1c165cec3060 (size 32):
    comm "insmod", pid 560, jiffies 4296964570 (age 235.596s)
    backtrace:
      [<000000005434db68>] __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1f4/0x2c0
      [<000000001203b155>] kmalloc_trace+0x40/0x88

      [<0000000087184c94>] really_probe+0x150/0x2c0

The firmware memory was allocated in ath12k_pci_probe(), but not
freed in ath12k_pci_remove() in case ATH12K_FLAG_QMI_FAIL bit is
set. So call ath12k_fw_unmap() to free the memory.
