staging: rtl8188eu: fix possible null dereference

Browse Source 
Inside a nested 'else' block at the beginning of this function is a
call that assigns 'psta' to the return value of 'rtw_get_stainfo()'.
If 'rtw_get_stainfo()' returns NULL and the flow of control reaches
the 'else if' where 'psta' is dereferenced, then we will dereference
a NULL pointer.

Fix this by checking if 'psta' is not NULL before reading its
'psta->qos_option' data member.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
