ar9170: fix hang on stop
This patch fixes a locking problem which freezes the network core. The deadlock goes as follows: - ar9170_op_stop - is called 1. change the state to IDLE 2. > take the MUTEX < 3. cancel_SYNC all pending work, which means "block until a work_struct's callback has terminated" => if filter_config_work was queued it tries to get the MUTEX, before checking the device state...
