cfg80211: fix rcu in cfg80211_unregister_wdev
Callers of cfg80211_unregister_wdev can free the wdev object immediately after this function returns. This may crash the kernel because this wdev object is still in use by other threads. Add synchronize_rcu() after list_del_rcu to make sure wdev object can be safely freed. Signed-off-by: Dedy Lansky <dlansky@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
