[PATCH] qtnfmac: fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Fri Jun 01 2018 - 09:24:51 EST


In case *vif* is NULL at 655: if (!vif), the execution path jumps to
label out, where *vif* is dereferenced at 679:

if (vif->sta_state == QTNF_STA_CONNECTING)

Fix this by immediately returning when *vif* is NULL instead of
jumping to label out.
