However, since the kernel is build optimized, it seems the stack is not
accurate. It appears the issue is related to wfx_set_mfp_ap(). The issue
is obvious in this function: memory allocated by ieee80211_beacon_get()
is never released. Fixing this leak makes kmemleak happy.

Arreglar esta fuga hace feliz a kmemleak.
