Subject: [PATCH] d80211: fix softlockup in hw_scan card when rmmod

The local->scan_work.data is not clear after scan is completed.

This will cause softlockup when removing driver module because 
the local->scan_work is not initialized for hw_scan card
and we are trying to cancel the scan_work with an uninitialized timer_list.
