cfg80211: fix set_regdom() to cancel requests with same alpha2
While adding regulatory support to ath6kl I noticed that I easily got the regulatory code confused. The way to reproduce the bug was: 1. iw reg set FI (in userspace) 2. cfg80211 calls ath6kl_reg_notify(FI) 3. ath6kl sets regdomain in firmware 4. firmware sends regdomain event to notify about the new regdomain (FI) 5. ath6kl calls regulatory_hint(FI) And this (from FI to FI transition) confuses cfg80211 and after that I only get "Pending regulatory request, waiting for it to be processed...." messages and regdomain changes won't work anymore. The reason why ath6kl calls regulatory_hint() is that firmware can change the regulatory domain by it's own, for example due to 11d IEs. I could of course workaround this in ath6kl but I think it's better to handle the case in cfg80211. The fix is pretty simple, use a different error code if the regdomain is same and then just set the request processed so that it doesn't block new requests.
