[PATCH v2] mac80211: Add null pointer check for ieee80211_link_get_chanctx()

[Wentao Liang]

The function ieee80211_chsw_switch_vifs() calls the function
ieee80211_link_get_chanctx(), but does not check its return value.
The return value is a null pointer if the ieee80211_link_get_chanctx()
fails. This will lead to a null pointer dereference in the following
code "&old_ctx->conf". A proper implementation can be found in
ieee80211_link_use_reserved_assign().

Add a null pointer check and goto error handling path if the
function fails.

Fixes: 5d52ee811019 ("mac80211: allow reservation of a running chanctx")
