Subject: [PATCH] net: mac80211: tx.c: be sure of 'sdata->vif.type' must be NL80211_IFTYPE_AP when be in NL80211_IFTYPE_AP case

From: Chen Gang <[email-masked]>

In next-20131122 tree, if "sdata->vif.type != NL80211_IFTYPE_AP",
'chanctx_conf' will be not initialized, so need check it. Related
warning (with allmodconfig under hexagon):

    CC [M]  net/mac80211/tx.o
  net/mac80211/tx.c: In function 'ieee80211_subif_start_xmit':
  net/mac80211/tx.c:1827:27: warning: 'chanctx_conf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
