mac80211: fix AP/VLAN PS buffer race
When an AP interface is removed without the AP/VLAN interfaces having been removed before already, the AP-VLAN interface might still have sleeping stations and buffer multicast frames which will happen on the AP interface. Thus, we need to remove AP/VLAN interfaces before purging buffered broadcast frames. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
