mac80211: fix station destruction problem
When a station w/o a key is destroyed, or when a driver submits work for a station and thereby references it again, it seems like potentially we could reference the station structure while it is being destroyed. Wait for an RCU grace period to elapse before finishing destroying the station after we have removed the station from the driver and from the hash table etc., even in the case where no key is associated with the station. Also, there's no point in deleting the plink timer here since it'll be properly deleted just a bit later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
