[PATCH 3.11 074/198] mac80211: don't check netdev state for debugfs read/write

[Luis Henriques]

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

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

From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 923eaf367206e01f22c97aee22300e332d071916 upstream.

Doing so will lead to an oops for a p2p-dev interface, since it has
no netdev.
