Subject: [ 042/102] mac80211: fix monitor interface suspend crash regression

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@...hat.com>

commit cd34f647a78e7f2296fcb72392b9e5c832793e65 upstream.

My commit:

commit 12e7f517029dad819c45eca9ca01fdb9ba57616b
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@...hat.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 28 10:55:26 2013 +0100

    mac80211: cleanup generic suspend/resume procedures

removed check for deleting MONITOR and AP_VLAN when suspend. That can
cause a crash (i.e. in iwlagn_mac_remove_interface()) since we remove
interface in the driver that we did not add before.
