Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex:  Fix potential dereference of NULL pointer

If 'card' is not valid, then we need to check the
field 'adapter' and 'priv_num' to avoid use of NULL
pointer in function 'mwifiex_get_priv'. Fix this by
adding the null pointer check on them.

Fixes: 21c5c83ce ("mwifiex: support sysfs initiated device coredump")
