Subject: [ 014/124] ath9k: avoid queueing hw check work when suspended

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

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

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...not-panic.com>

commit 7fc0357479eeff4ca808c4d8c09bc7631f576b8d upstream.

The following issue was reported.

WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:599 ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.7+0x32/0x40 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: iMac12,1
queueing ieee80211 work while going to suspend
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Tainted: PF          O 3.8.2-206.fc18.x86_64 #1
Call Trace: Mar 16 09:39:17 Parags-iMac kernel: [ 3993.642992]  <IRQ>
[<ffffffff8105e61f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0

[<ffffffffa045b542>] ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.7+0x32/0x40

Fix this by avoiding to queue the work if our device has
already been marked as suspended or stopped.
