Subject: d80211: soft lockup in ieee80211_unregister_hw

Hi,

while doing my first steps under d80211 I stumbled over a
soft lockup. It's on a real SMP machine (Core 2 Duo). After the
lockup the machine becomes unusable. I can reproduce it reliably
by unplugging the device.

The bug appears to be present in the John Linville's wireless-dev
master branch, but also in Micheal Wu's zd1211rw-week51 branch. 

Reading the code I see that the work structs are canceled more
then one time. At first in ieee80211_unregister_hw and second in
ieee80211_if_shutdown called by unregister_netdev. The second
cancel operation casues the soft lockup.

Does anybody have an idea how to fix it? 

Here is the kernel log with the soft lockup.
