iwlwifi3945/4965: fix rate control algo reference leak
Fix rate control algo reference leak in case if network device has been failed to register. In this case special flag priv->mac80211_registered is not set and the rate algo reference is not freeing on module unload. That leads to OOPs in further ieee80211 rate register/unregister procedure (by any callee). It should fix the bug #9470 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9470 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Acked-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
