Syzbot reported use-after-free Read in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb(). The
problem was in incorrect htc_handle->drv_priv initialization.
Probable call trace which can trigger use-after-free:
ath9k_htc_probe_device()
/* htc_handle->drv_priv = priv; */
ath9k_htc_wait_for_target() <--- Failed
ieee80211_free_hw() <--- priv pointer is freed
<IRQ>
...
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb()
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream()
RX_STAT_INC() <--- htc_handle->drv_priv access
In order to not add fancy protection for drv_priv we can move
htc_handle->drv_priv initialization at the end of the
ath9k_htc_probe_device() and add helper macro to make
all *_STAT_* macros NULL save.
Also, I made whitespaces clean ups in *_STAT_* macros definitions
to make checkpatch.pl happy.
Fixes: fb9987d0f748 ("ath9k_htc: Support for AR9271 chipset.")

Hi, ath9k maintainer/developers!
I know, that you do not like changes, that wasn't tested on real
hardware. I really don't access to this one, so I'd like you to test it on
real hardware piece, if you have one. At least, this patch was tested by
syzbot [1]
