mac80211: fix race between connection monitor & suspend
When the connection monitor timer fires right before suspend, the following will happen: timer fires -> monitor_work gets queued suspend calls ieee80211_sta_quiesce ieee80211_sta_quiesce: - deletes timer - cancels monitor_work synchronously, running it [note wrong order of these steps] monitor_work runs, re-arming the timer later, timer fires while system should be quiesced This causes a warning: WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:540 ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x35/0x40 [mac80211]() but is otherwise harmless. I'm not completely sure this is the scenario Thomas stumbled across, but it is the only way I can right now see the warning in a scenario like the one he reported.
