wifi: mac80211: fix rx link assignment for non-MLO stations

Browse source

[ Upstream commit cc2b722132 ]

Currently, ieee80211_rx_data_set_sta() does not correctly handle the
case where the interface supports multiple links (MLO), but the station
does not (non-MLO). This can lead to incorrect link assignment or
unexpected warnings when accessing link information.

Hence, add a fix to check if the station lacks valid link support and
use its default link ID for rx->link assignment. If the station
unexpectedly has valid links, fall back to the default link.

This ensures correct link association and prevents potential issues
in mixed MLO/non-MLO environments.
