iwlwifi: fix possible recursive locking deadlock
commit f84b29ec Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Tue May 18 02:29:13 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: queue user-initiated scan when doing internal scan introduced a potential deadlock because it calls ieee80211_scan_completed() with the priv->mutex held, but mac80211 may call back into iwlwifi which would lead to recursive locking. Move this out from under the mutex. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
