Subject: [PATCH][net-next] mac80211: add missing null return check from call to ieee80211_get_sband

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The return from ieee80211_get_sband can potentially be a null pointer, so
it seems prudent to add a null check to avoid a null pointer dereference
on sband.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: 2ab45876756f ("mac80211: add support for the ADDBA extension element")
