commit 17e524b1b60f4390d24a51d9524d1648cf5d1447 upstream.

This NULL pointer dereference is observed during suspend resume
stress test. All pending commands are cancelled when system goes
into suspend state. There a corner case in which host may receive
response for last scan command after this and try to trigger extra
active scan for hidden SSIDs.

The issue is fixed by adding a NULL check to skip that extra scan.

Fixes: 2375fa2b36feaf34 (mwifiex: fix unable to connect hidden SSID..)
