Subject: [ 137/150] mac80211: always unblock CSA queue stop when disconnecting

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

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


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

Commit 5b36ebd8249f403c7edf7cf68d68e9a0d0f55243 upstream.

In some cases when disconnecting after (or during?) CSA
the queues might not recover, and then the only way to
recover is reloading the module.

Fix this by always unblocking the queue CSA reason when

disconnecting.
