Subject: [PATCH 015/116] mtk: wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fixed null pointer
 dereference issue

Without this patch, when the station is still in Authentication stage and
sends a "Notify bandwidth change action frame" to AP at the same time,
there will be a race condition that causes a crash to occur because the AP
access "msta->vif" that has not been fully initialized.
