Subject: [PATCH net] mac80211: fix locking in ieee80211_restart_work()

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

Ilan's change to move locking around accidentally lost the
wiphy_lock() during some porting, add it back.

Can you please apply this directly to net? I don't have any
other patches, so not much sense in sending a pull request.
