mac80211: fix rcu-unsafe pointer dereference

This patch fixes a potential crash (null-pointer de-
reference) which was introduced in my previous patch:
 "mac80211: AMPDU rx reorder timeout timer"

During a BA teardown, the pointer to the soon-to-be-gone
tid_ampdu_rx element will be nullified. Therefore the
release timer mechanism has to be careful not to
accidentally access the item without any RCU protection.
