Subject: [PATCH 4.9 109/138] mwifiex: sdio: fix use after free issue for save_adapter

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

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

From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@...vell.com>


[ Upstream commit 74c8719b8ee0922593a5cbec0bd6127d86d8a2f4 ]

If we have sdio work requests received when sdio card reset is
happening, we may end up accessing older save_adapter pointer
later which is already freed during card reset.
This patch solves the problem by cancelling those pending requests.
