CVE-2022-48876

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: fix initialization of rx->link and rx->link_sta

There are some codepaths that do not initialize rx->linksta properly. This causes a crash in places which assume that rx->linksta is valid if rx->sta is valid. One known instance is triggered by _ieee80211rxhamsdu being called from fast-rx. It results in a crash like this one:

Since the initialization of rx->link and rx->link_sta is rather convoluted and duplicated in many places, clean it up by using a helper function to set it.
