iwlwifi: do not nulify ctx->vif on reset
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ctx->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlwifi code, so do not
nullify it.

This should address at least one of the possible reasons of WARNING at
iwlagn_mac_remove_interface, and perhaps some random crashes when
firmware reset is performed.
