[ 04/83] mac80211: sync acccess to tx_filtered/ps_tx_buf queues

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 987c285c2ae2e4e32aca3a9b3252d28171c75711 upstream.

These are accessed without a lock when ending STA PSM. If the
sta_cleanup timer accesses these lists at the same time, we might crash.

This may fix some mysterious crashes we had during
ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup.
