[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Vihas Makwana
Date: Sat Apr 23 2022 - 14:48:50 EST


recvframe_chk_defrag() performs a NULL check on psta, but if that check
fails then it dereferences it, which it shouldn't do as psta is NULL.

Set pdefrag_q to NULL if above check fails and let the code after it handle
that case.
