In Multi-AP VAP scenario with frequent interface up-down, there is a chance that ath11k_mgmt_over_wmi_tx_work() will dequeue a skb corresponding to currently deleted/stopped vdev. FW will assert on receiving mgmt_tx_wmi cmd for already deleted vdev. Hence adding validation checks for arvif present on the corresponding ar before sending mgmt_tx_wmi cmd.
