staging: rtl8723bs: clean up memcpy() in rtw_check_bcn_info

Move the ssid memcpy() inside the ie null-check to avoid calling it
with a NULL-derived pointer (p + 2) when the ie is missing.

While the kernel handles 0-length memcpy() safely as a no-op, keeping
the call outside the check is confusing and poor practice. This
change improves code readability.
