Subject: Circular locking (rtnl_mutex & _xmit_IEEE80211) during suspend

Got this lockdep complaint yesterday

wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.27-rc1 #29
---------------------------------------------
NetworkManager/1744 is trying to acquire lock:
 (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff804b18ea>] dev_deactivate+0x9a/0x150

but task is already holding lock:
 (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff804b18ea>] dev_deactivate+0x9a/0x150

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by NetworkManager/1744:
 #0:  (rtnl_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff804ac8fa>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x1a/0x40
 #1:  (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff804b18ea>]
dev_deactivate+0x9a/0x150
