mac80211: clear sta->fast_rx when STA removed from 4-addr VLAN
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
In some race conditions, with more clients and traffic configuration,
below crash is seen when making the interface down. sta->fast_rx wasn't
cleared when STA gets removed from 4-addr AP_VLAN interface. The crash is
due to try accessing 4-addr AP_VLAN interface's net_device (fast_rx->dev)
which has been deleted already.

Resolve this by clearing sta->fast_rx pointer when STA removes
from a 4-addr VLAN.
