[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c8ccf3ade7851054f82bf88f5fcd393a394038a3 upstream.

Recent patch "mwifiex: fix NULL pointer" skips extended scan event
handling when suspend is in progress. It created a problem for scan
after interface disabled/enabled case.

This patch solves the problem by checking netif_running() status.
