weighted_interleave_auto_store() fetches old_wi_state inside the if
(!input) block only. This causes two memory leaks:
1. When a user writes "false" and the current mode is already manual,
the function returns early without freeing the freshly allocated
new_wi_state.
2. When a user writes "true", old_wi_state stays NULL because the
fetch is skipped entirely. The old state is then overwritten by
rcu_assign_pointer() but never freed, since the cleanup path is
gated on old_wi_state being non-NULL. A user can trigger this
repeatedly by writing "1" in a loop.
Fix both leaks by moving the old_wi_state fetch before the input check,
making it unconditional. This also allows a unified early return for both
"true" and "false" when the requested mode matches the current mode.
