wifi: mac80211: fix potential sta-link leak
[ Upstream commit b01a74b3ca6fd51b62c67733ba7c3280fa6c5d26 ]
When a station is allocated, links are added but not
set to valid yet (e.g. during connection to an AP MLD),
we might remove the station without ever marking links
valid, and leak them. Fix that.
