net/hostapd: Fix uninitialized packet pointer on error
The packet pointer (called packet) will remain uninitialized when pcap_next_ex() returns an error. This occurs when the wlan interface is shut down using ifconfig destroy. Adding a NULL assignment to packet duplicates what pcap_next() does. The reason we use pcap_next_ex() in this instance is because with pacp_next() when we receive a null pointer if there was an error or if no packets were read. With pcap_next_ex() we can differentiate between an error and legitimately no packets were received.
