Subject[PATCH 16/19] mac80211: avoid a build warning
Date
gcc cannot prove that the value of sdata->vif.type does not
change between the switch() statement and the second
comparison to NL80211_IFTYPE_AP, causing a harmless
warning.
Slightly reordering the code makes the warning go away
with no functional change.

Without this patch, building ARM at91sam9g45_defconfig with
gcc-4.6 results in:

net/mac80211/tx.c: In function 'ieee80211_subif_start_xmit':
net/mac80211/tx.c:1797:22: warning: 'chanctx_conf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
