wifi: nxpwifi: fix multiple static analysis errors and warnings

Browse source 
Fix various development-phase bugs, code quality, and logical issues
reported by the kernel test robot (using the Smatch static analysis tool).

The following addressable fixes are included:

- 11n.c & 11ax.c: Fix potential NULL pointer dereferences by correcting
  logical operators (&& to ||) in 11n.c and hoisting the bss_desc
  verification to the top of the function in 11ax.c.
- 11n.c: Fix a severe Use-After-Free (UAF) memory corruption during RCU
  list traversal. Restore the proper list_for_each_entry_safe() loop
  structure along with the required array index [i] within the locked
  writer path.
- sdio.c: Fix a missing unwind resource cleanup pathway where a protocol
  error branch returned directly via -EINVAL instead of using
  'goto term_cmd', leaving the SDIO hardware state machine out of sync.
- main.h: Fix a signedness mismatch bug where nxpwifi_get_unused_bss_num()
  could return -2 as an unsigned integer fallback.
- util.c: Remove a redundant and dead condition check (position <= 15)
  which was always true for a 4-bit unsigned bit-field member variable.
- cfg80211.c: Clean up a dead unreachable 'return 0' at the bottom of the
  switch-case logic.
- uap_txrx.c: Clean up mismatched and inconsistent indentations within the
  handling of multicast RX forward paths.
