Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: do not wake queues on a vif that is being stopped
When a vif is being removed and sdata->bss is cleared, __ieee80211_wake_txqs
can still be called on it, which crashes as soon as sdata->bss is being
dereferenced.
To fix this properly, check for SDATA_STATE_RUNNING before waking queues,
and take the fq lock when setting it (to ensure that __ieee80211_wake_txqs
observes the change when running on a different CPU
