[ Upstream commit 12d47f0ea5e0aa63f19ba618da55a7c67850ca10 ]
Fix a kernel panic by checking that the sta is not NULL.
This could happen during a reconfig flow, as mac80211 moves the sta
between all the states without really checking if the previous state was
successfully set. So, if for some reason we failed to add back the
station, subsequent calls to sta_state() callback will be done when the
station is NULL. This would result in a following panic:
