[ 06/72] mac80211: Fix a rwlock bad magic bug

[Greg KH]

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

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

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b57e6b560fc2a2742910ac5ca0eb2c46e45aeac2 upstream.

read_lock(&tpt_trig->trig.leddev_list_lock) is accessed via the path
ieee80211_open (->) ieee80211_do_open (->) ieee80211_mod_tpt_led_trig
(->) ieee80211_start_tpt_led_trig (->) tpt_trig_timer before initializing
it.
the intilization of this read/write lock happens via the path
ieee80211_led_init (->) led_trigger_register, but we are doing
'ieee80211_led_init'  after 'ieeee80211_if_add' where we
register netdev_ops.
so we access leddev_list_lock before initializing it and causes the
following bug in chrome laptops with AR928X cards with the following
script

while true
do
sudo modprobe -v ath9k
sleep 3
sudo modprobe -r ath9k
sleep 3
done
