Commit beee24695157 ("cfg80211: Save the regulatory domain when
setting custom regulatory") adds a get_wiphy_regdom call to
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory. But as the comment above
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory says:
"/* Used by drivers prior to wiphy registration */"
this function is used by driver's probe function before the wiphy is
registered and at this point wiphy->regd will typically by NULL and
calling rcu_dereference_rtnl on a NULL pointer causes the following
warning/backtrace:

Add a check for wiphy->regd being NULL before calling get_wiphy_regdom
(as is already done in other places) to fix this.
wiphy->regd will likely always be NULL when wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory
gets called, so arguably the tmp = get_wiphy_regdom() and
rcu_free_regdom(tmp) calls should simply be dropped, this patch keeps the
2 calls, to allow drivers to call wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory more then
once if necessary.
