qcacld-3.0: Pass double pointer to hdd_softap_deregister_sta

The function hdd_softap_deregister_sta takes the sta_info as the
argument and calls hdd_sta_info_detach. In hdd_sta_info_detach, the
memory assigned to the sta_info is being freed. For this memory to be
properly freed and set to NULL, the actual memory location must be
passed to the function; which is currently not happening.

Pass the actual memory location by reference using a double pointer so
that the memory cleanup is proper.

CRs-Fixed: 2627296
