wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_service_ready_ext_event

Currently, in ath12k_service_ready_ext_event(), svc_rdy_ext.mac_phy_caps
is not freed in the failure case, causing a memory leak. The following
trace is observed in kmemleak:

Free svc_rdy_ext.mac_phy_caps in the error case to fix this memory leak.
