[ Upstream commit 228241944a48113470d3c3b46c88ba7fbe0a274b ]
Inside a nested 'else' block at the beginning of this function is a call that assigns 'psta' to the return value of 'rtw_get_stainfo()'. If 'rtw_get_stainfo()' returns NULL and the flow of control reaches the 'else if' where 'psta' is dereferenced, then we will dereference a NULL pointer.
Fix this by checking if 'psta' is not NULL before reading its 'psta->qos_option' data member.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
