Zhi Chen 0718a466c6 ath10k: fix peer stats null pointer dereference 
[ Upstream commit 2d3b55853b ]

There was a race condition in SMP that an ath10k_peer was created but its
member sta was null. Following are procedures of ath10k_peer creation and
member sta access in peer statistics path.

    1. Peer creation:
        ath10k_peer_create()
            =>ath10k_wmi_peer_create()
                =>ath10k_wait_for_peer_created()
                ...

        # another kernel path, RX from firmware
        ath10k_htt_t2h_msg_handler()
        =>ath10k_peer_map_event()
                =>wake_up()
                # ar->peer_map[id] = peer //add peer to map

        #wake up original path from waiting
                ...
                # peer->sta = sta //sta assignment

    2.  RX path of statistics
        ath10k_htt_t2h_msg_handler()
            =>ath10k_update_per_peer_tx_stats()
                =>ath10k_htt_fetch_peer_stats()
                # peer->sta //sta accessing

Any access of peer->sta after peer was added to peer_map but before sta was
assigned could cause a null pointer issue. And because these two steps are
asynchronous, no proper lock can protect them. So both peer and sta need to
be checked before access.

Tested: QCA9984 with firmware ver 10.4-3.9.0.1-00005

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
