Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.4 15/26] wifi: ath12k: Avoid NULL pointer access during management transmit cleanup

From: Balamurugan S <quic_bselvara@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 054b5580a36e435692c203c19abdcb9f7734320e ]

Currently 'ar' reference is not added in skb_cb.
Though this is generally not used during transmit completion
callbacks, on interface removal the remaining idr cleanup callback
uses the ar pointer from skb_cb from management txmgmt_idr. Hence fill them
during transmit call for proper usage to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
