Wen Gong 1e1cb8e0b7 wifi: ath10k: reset pointer after memory free to avoid potential use-after-free ...

When running suspend test, kernel crash happened in ath10k, and it is
fixed by commit b72a4aff94 ("ath10k: skip ath10k_halt during suspend
for driver state RESTARTING").

Currently the crash is fixed, but as a common code style, it is better
to set the pointer to NULL after memory is free.

This is to address the code style and it will avoid potential bug of
use-after-free.
