During scan and remain-on-channel requests, a scan link vif (arvif) is assigned and a temporary vdev is created. If vdev creation fails, the assigned arvif is left attached until the virtual interface is removed, leaving a stale link in ahvif. Fix this by freeing the stale arvif and resetting the corresponding link in ahvif by calling ath12k_mac_unassign_link_vif() when vdev creation fails. While at it, propagate the actual error code from ath12k_mac_vdev_create() instead of returning -EINVAL in ath12k_mac_initiate_hw_scan().
