[PATCH] ath10k: remove NULL ptr deref in variable init of ath10k_monitor_vdev_start

In ath10k_monitor_vdev_start, chandef is initialized to NULL and then
channel is immediately thereafter initialized to chandef->chan (i.e.
NULL->chan).  This appears to be some sort of cut-n-paste error, since
the same assignment is done later (i.e. after chandef has been properly
assigned to a non-NULL value).  So, let's just remove this "brown paper
bag" typo/thinko... :-)

Coverity CID #1309505
