Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7996: avoid NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_set_monitor()

The function mt7996_set_monitor() dereferences phy before 
the NULL sanity check.

Fix this to avoid NULL pointer dereference by moving the 
dereference after the check.

Fixes: 69d54ce7491d ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: switch to single multi-radio wiphy")
