+Subject: cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bug
+
+When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after
+the driver. However, it currently does this too early,
+it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so
+it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also
+make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if
+the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't
+crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a
+scan request is still pending and exit if not.
