[PATCH] mac80211: Fix possible race between sta_unblock and network softirq

From: Helmut Schaa <hidden>
Date: 2012-01-17 08:23:02
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

All other code paths in sta_unblock synchronize with the network
softirq by using local_bh_disable/enable. Do the same around
ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup.
