[PATCH] Fix using invalid memory during driver deinit

We recorded the address of hapd_iface->bss[0]->drv_priv before calling
hostapd_free_hapd_data function and passed it to the
hostapd_deinit_driver function after the call.
However, the hostapd_free_hapd_data function may free the hapd->drv_priv
memory, which could lead to the hostapd_deinit_driver using an invalid
memory address that has already been freed.
