cfg80211: fix NULL pointer deference in reg_device_remove()
We won't ever get here as regulatory_hint_core() can only fail on -ENOMEM and in that case we don't initialize cfg80211 but this is technically correct code. This is actually good for stable, where we don't check for -ENOMEM failure on __regulatory_hint()'s failure.
