[ Upstream commit ae80b6033834342601e99f74f6a62ff5092b1cee ]

Unexpected WDCMSG_TARGET_START replay can lead to null-ptr-deref
when ar->tx_cmd->odata is NULL. The patch adds a null check to
prevent such case.

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

I found the bug using a custome USBFuzz port. It's a research work
to fuzz USB stack/drivers. I modified it to fuzz ath9k driver only,
providing hand-crafted usb descriptors to QEMU.

After fixing the code (fourth byte in usb packet) to WDCMSG_TARGET_START,
I got the null-ptr-deref bug. I believe the bug is triggerable whenever
cmd->odata is NULL. After patching, I tested with the same input and no
longer see the KASAN report.

This was NOT tested on a real device.
