cfg80211_update_known_bss will always consume the passed IEs. As such,
cfg80211_update_assoc_bss_entry also needs to always set the pointers to
NULL so that no double free can occur.

Note that hitting this would probably require being connected to a
hidden BSS which is then doing a channel switch while also switching to
be not hidden anymore at the same time.
