    LinuxKPI: 802.11: initalize lsta to NULL in linuxkpi_ieee80211_rx()
    
    The logic following this new assignment in some cases may not set lsta
    but the later tracing is checking for it to be != NULL.
    With lsta not initialized that check may not hold up and later we would
    dereference lsta->state and possibly panic.
