[PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath11k: fix null ptr dereference when tx offload is enabled

When tx offload is enabled, info->band from skb cb is 0. This
causes null pointer access at mac80211 when sband is accessed.

In offload case, ndo_hard_start will bypass mac80211 tx and no
function will set info->band in skb cb to correct value.

Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01725-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
