mac80211: fix NULL pointer dereference when ftrace is enabled

commit 3092ad054406f069991ca561adc74f2d9fbb6867 upstream.

I got below kernel oops when I try to bring down the network interface if
ftrace is enabled. The root cause is drv_ampdu_action() is passed with a
NULL ssn pointer in the BA session tear down case. We need to check and
avoid dereferencing it in trace entry assignment.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
