[PATCH v2] wifi: mac80211: guard drv_net_setup_tc() against unbound AP_VLAN sdata

[Ayushman Rout]

syzbot reports a NULL/invalid pointer dereference in
trace_event_raw_event_drv_net_setup_tc(), reached via
ieee80211_netdev_setup_tc() -> drv_net_setup_tc().

drv_net_setup_tc() calls get_bss_sdata(sdata) unconditionally. For an
NL80211_IFTYPE_AP_VLAN interface this does
container_of(sdata->bss, ...), but sdata->bss is only linked
opportunistically at interface-add time when a matching same-address
AP interface exists - it is not enforced, so an AP_VLAN interface can
be fully created and registered with sdata->bss left NULL.
container_of() on NULL yields a small invalid pointer rather than
NULL, which the trace_drv_net_setup_tc tracepoint then dereferences
to read the interface name.

Guard against an unbound AP_VLAN sdata before calling
get_bss_sdata(), matching the WARN_ON_ONCE(!bss) precondition already
used for this same relationship in sta_info.c.

The underlying gap in ieee80211_if_add() - AP_VLAN creation not
requiring a bound bss - is not fixed here; other get_bss_sdata()
callers may share the exposure.

v2: drop the check_sdata_in_driver() call from v1 - syzbot ci flagged
    it as reachable via ordinary tc qdisc creation, not a real bug.
