From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There are multiple refcounting bugs related to multi-BSSID:
 - In bss_ref_get(), if the BSS has a hidden_beacon_bss, then
   the bss pointer is overwritten before checking for the
   transmitted BSS, which is clearly wrong. Fix this by using
   the bss_from_pub() macro.

 - In cfg80211_bss_update() we copy the transmitted_bss pointer
   from tmp into new, but then if we release new, we'll unref
   it erroneously. We already set the pointer and ref it, but
   need to NULL it since it was copied from the tmp data.

 - In cfg80211_inform_single_bss_data(), if adding to the non-
   transmitted list fails, we unlink the BSS and yet still we
   return it, but this results in returning an entry without
   a reference. We shouldn't return it anyway if it was broken
   enough to not get added there.

This fixes CVE-2022-42720.
