carl9170: tx: fix an incorrect use of list iterator
commit 54a6f29522da3c914da30e50721dedf51046449a upstream.
If the previous list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() don't exit early
(no goto hit inside the loop), the iterator 'cvif' after the loop
will be a bogus pointer to an invalid structure object containing
the HEAD (&ar->vif_list). As a result, the use of 'cvif' after that
will lead to a invalid memory access (i.e., 'cvif->id': the invalid
pointer dereference when return back to/after the callsite in the
carl9170_update_beacon()).
The original intention should have been to return the valid 'cvif'
when found in list, NULL otherwise. So just return NULL when no
entry found, to fix this bug.
