From: Arunk Khandavalli <akhandav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> nl80211_update_ft_ies() tried to validate NL80211_ATTR_IE with is_valid_ie_attr() before dereferencing it, but that helper function returns true in case of NULL pointer (i.e., attribute not included). This can result to dereferencing a NULL pointer. Fix that by explicitly checking that NL80211_ATTR_IE is included.
