iwlagn: fix NULL ptr deref when reprogramming sta w/o LQ
Reinette reports a crash in iwl_reprogram_ap_sta(). The debugging shows: b1 16 mov $0x16,%cl *f3 a5 rep movsl %ds <-- trapping instruction:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi) which is a memcpy of 22 (0x16) words (movsl). this points to "priv->stations[sta_id].lq" being NULL since that is the memcpy() of that size here. The only way I see for this to happen is if we try to do some RXON reprogramming while connecting to an AP, after tx_sync() but before full setup, but that seems like something that might very well happen. Fix this by checking if the LQ is present and only then reprogramming it.
