[PATCH] ath10k: fix potential null dereference bugs

Smatch warns about a number of cases in ath10k where a pointer is
null-checked after it has already been dereferenced, in code involving
ath10k private virtual interface pointers.

Fix these by making the dereference happen later.

Addresses the following smatch warnings:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c:3651 ath10k_mac_txq_init() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'txq' (see line 3649)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c:3664 ath10k_mac_txq_unref() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'txq' (see line 3659)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c:70 __ath10k_htt_tx_txq_recalc() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'txq->sta' (see line 52)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c:740 ath10k_htt_tx_get_vdev_id() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cb->vif' (see line 736)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/txrx.c:86 ath10k_txrx_tx_unref() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'txq' (see line 84)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c:1837 ath10k_wmi_op_gen_mgmt_tx() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cb->vif' (see line 1825)

Although I glanced at a few cases, by and large I didn't check
whether the if() tests were correct but assumed they were.

Also, I only compile-tested this.
