[PATCH 2/7] wifi: mt76: mt7925: guard against NULL chandef in BSS RLM TLV

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang at mediatek.com>
mt7925_mcu_bss_rlm_tlv() dereferences chandef->chan without verifying
that chandef and chandef->chan are present.
While current callers normally provide a valid chandef, future call
paths or partially configured interfaces may result in missing channel
information and lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a defensive check and bail out early when channel information is
not available. This does not change behaviour for normal operation.
