Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: avoid allocating TXQs that won't be used
Issue: sdata is null when the sdata is dereferenced by:
sdata->vif.type != NL80211_IFTYPE_AP_VLAN &&
sdata->vif.type != NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR)
note that sdata is assigned a non-null much later with the statement
sdata = netdev_priv(ndev).
Detected by CoverityScan CID#1456974 ("Explicit null dereferenced")
