Subject: [PATCH 3.14 031/228] cfg80211: fix few minor issues in reg_process_hint()

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

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

From: Ilan Peer <ilan.peer@...el.com>

commit 772f0389338cfcf96da1c178046dc7e1649ab554 upstream.

Fix the following issues in reg_process_hint():

1. Add verification that wiphy is valid before processing
   NL80211_REGDOMAIN_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE.
2. Free the request in case of invalid initiator.
3. Remove WARN_ON check on reg_request->alpha2 as it is not a
   pointer.
