mac80211: fix modprobe deadlock by not calling wep_init under rtnl_lock
- ieee80211_wep_init(), which is called with rtnl_lock held, blocks in request_module() [waiting for modprobe to load a crypto module]. - modprobe blocks in a call to flush_workqueue(), when it closes a TTY [presumably when it exits]. - The workqueue item linkwatch_event() blocks on rtnl_lock. There's no reason for wep_init() to be called with rtnl_lock held, so just move it outside the critical section. Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Signed-off-by: John W.
