This patch fixes a potential crash (null-pointer de- reference) which was introduced in my previous patch: "mac80211: AMPDU rx reorder timeout timer" During a BA teardown, the pointer to the soon-to-be-gone tid_ampdu_rx element will be nullified. Therefore the release timer mechanism has to be careful not to accidentally access the item without any RCU protection.
