[PATCH 5.18 719/879] wifi: mac80211: fix use-after-free in chanctx code

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

commit 2965c4cdf7ad9ce0796fac5e57debb9519ea721e upstream.

In ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_context(), when we have an
old context and the new context's replace_state is set to
IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACE_NONE, we free the old context
in ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_reassign(). Therefore, we
cannot check the old_ctx anymore, so we should set it to
NULL after this point.

However, since the new_ctx replace state is clearly not
IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACES_OTHER, we're not going to do
anything else in this function and can just return to
avoid accessing the freed old_ctx.
