Function ath_node_free sometimes crashes on IXP425 platform

Description

It seems that ath_node_free function is sometime being called on NULL node which causes it to crash. I'm having IXP425 platform based AP running kernel 2.6.18-rt7. Simply NULL checking prevents from crash - see attached patch.
