mac80211_hwsim: Add missing check for HWSIM_ATTR_SIGNAL
commit 62397da5 upstream. A wmediumd that does not send this attribute causes a NULL pointer dereference, as the attribute is accessed even if it does not exist. The attribute was required but never checked ever since userspace frame forwarding has been introduced. The issue gets more problematic once we allow wmediumd registration from user namespaces.
