Subject: [patch 051/176] ath9k_htc: Handle pending URBs properly

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@...eros.com>

commit ff8f59b5bbdf1527235b8c88d859c7d23691324f upstream.

When doing a channel change, the pending URBs have to be killed
properly on calling htc_stop().

This fixes the probe response timeout seen when sending UDP traffic at
a high rate and running background scan at the same time.
