iwlwifi: mvm: Don't call iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211() with NULL sta
[ Upstream commit 30d17c12b0895e15ce22ebc1f52a4ff02df6dbc6 ]
The recent fix for NULL sta in iwl_mvm_get_tx_rate() still has a call
of iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211() that may be called with NULL sta.
Although this practically only points to the address and the actual
access doesn't happen due to the conditional evaluation at a later
point, it looks a bit flaky.
This patch drops the temporary variable above and evaluates
iwm_mvm_sta_from_mac80211() directly for avoiding confusions.
