This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap(). Additionally this should address also WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.

/*
* This is an implementation of the notion of "decrement a

*
* if (atomic_dec_and_test(&atomic)) {
* spin_lock(&lock);
* return 1;
* }
* return 0;
*
* because the spin-lock and the decrement must be
* "atomic".
