If the station disconnects\n(or the channel context is otherwise torn down) between the\ntime the work is queued and the time it runs, the driver's\ndev->new_ctx pointer can already have been cleared to NULL.\nmt7921_channel_switch_rx_beacon() then dereferences new_ctx\nunconditionally, triggering a NULL pointer dereference at\naddress 0x0:\n\n  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n  RIP: 0010:mt7921_channel_switch_rx_beacon+0x1f/0x100 [mt7921_common]\n\nThe same missing guard exists in mt7925_channel_switch_rx_beacon(),\nwhich shares the same code pattern introduced by the same commit.\n\nAdd an early-return NULL check for dev->new_ctx in both\nmt7921_channel_switch_rx_beacon() and\nmt7925_channel_switch_rx_beacon().
