From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
This shouldn't happen at all, since in station mode all MMPDUs
go through the TXQ for the STA, and not this function. There
may or may not be a race in mac80211 through which this might
happen for some frames while a station is being added, but in
that case we can also just drop the frame and pretend the STA
didn't exist yet.
Also, the code is simply wrong since it uses deflink, and it's
not easy to fix it since the mvmvif->ap_sta pointer cannot be
used without the mutex, and perhaps the right link might not
even be known.
Just drop the frame at that point instead of trying to fix it
up.
