[ 096/101] cfg80211/mac80211: avoid state mishmash on deauth

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6863255bd0e48bc41ae5a066d5c771801e92735a upstream.

Avoid situation when we are on associate state in mac80211 and
on disassociate state in cfg80211. This can results on crash
during modules unload (like showed on this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=134373976300001&r=1&w=2) and possibly other
problems.
