wifi: ath: dfs_pattern_detector: Fix a memory initialization issue
[ Upstream commit 79bd60ee87e1136718a686d6617ced5de88ee350 ]
If an error occurs and channel_detector_exit() is called, it relies on
entries of the 'detectors' array to be NULL.
Otherwise, it may access to un-initialized memory.
Fix it and initialize the memory, as what was done before the commit in
Fixes.
