Subject: [PATCH v3] wifi: ath11k: Fix NULL pointer check in ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe()

Fix the NON-NULL check by changing the OR (||) to AND (&&),
ensuring that the function only proceeds when both `dest_ring`
and `status_ring` are NON-NULL.

The current implementation of `ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe` checks for
NON-NULL of either `dest_ring` or `status_ring` using a
logical OR (||). However, both rings, especially `dest_ring`,
should be ensured to be NON-NULL in this function.
If only one of the rings is valid, such as `dest_ring` is NULL
and `status_ring` is NON-NULL, the subsequent call to
`ath11k_ce_rx_buf_enqueue_pipe()` will access the NULL pointer,
resulting in a driver crash.
