[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: fix a bug when unload driver

[Glen Lee]

kernel crashes when load and unload driver several times. I used git bisect to
track down and found that removing NULL setting caused the panic.
This reverts only related codes of the patch(a4ab1ade75a3).

Fixes: a4ab1ade75a3 ("staging: wilc1000: replace drvHandler and hWFIDrv with 
hif_drv")
