ath9k: fix panic caused by returning a descriptor we have queued for reuse
Commit 3a2923e83c introduced a bug when a corrupt descriptor
is encountered - although the following descriptor is discarded
and returned to the queue for reuse the associated frame is
also returned for processing. This leads to a panic:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000003a

Making sure bf is cleared to NULL in this case restores the
old behaviour.
