wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix kernel panic due to null pointer dereference

Address a kernel panic caused by a null pointer dereference in the mt792x_rx_get_wcid function. The issue arises because the deflink structure is not properly initialized with the sta context. This patch ensures that the deflink structure is correctly linked to the sta context preventing the null pointer dereference.
