rtlwifi: Fix NULL dereference when PCI driver used as an AP
rtlwifi: Fix NULL dereference when PCI driver used as an AP

In commit 33511b157bbcebaef853cc1811992b664a2e5862 ("rtlwifi: add support to
send beacon frame"), the mechanism for sending beacons was established. That
patch works correctly for rtl8192cu, but there is a possibility of getting
the following warnings in the PCI drivers:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2439 at net/mac80211/driver-ops.h:12
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x179/0x1d0 [mac80211]()
wlp5s0:  Failed check-sdata-in-driver check, flags: 0x0

The warning is followed by a NULL pointer dereference as follows:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000006
IP: [<ffffffffc073998e>] rtl_get_tcb_desc+0x5e/0x760 [rtlwifi]

This problem was reported at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/138645,
but no solution was found at that time.

The problem was also reported at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9744
and this solution was developed and tested there.

The USB driver works with a NULL final argument in the adapter_tx() callback;
however, the PCI drivers need a struct rtl_tcb_desc in that position.
