[PATCH 4.0 045/148] brcmfmac: avoid null pointer access when brcmf_msgbuf_get_pktid() fails

From: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com>

commit 7d072b404c5d8f1e0b62b6bc488dfeaa61bd2d8d upstream.

The function brcmf_msgbuf_get_pktid() may return a NULL pointer so
the callers should check the return pointer before accessing it to
avoid the crash below (see [1]):

brcmfmac: brcmf_msgbuf_get_pktid: Invalid packet id 273 (not in use)
