[PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7915: guard HE capability lookups

> mt7915_mcu_bss_he_tlv() and mt7915_mcu_sta_bfer_tlv() both run after
> checking HE support, then dereference the HE PHY capability returned by
> mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap(). That helper can return NULL when no
> capability entry matches the vif type.
> 
> Fetch the capability before appending the TLV and skip the HE-specific
> setup when no matching capability is available.
