In certain situations we want to trigger reprocessing
of the last regulatory hint. One situation in which
this makes sense is the case where the cfg80211 was
built-in to the kernel, CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB was not
enabled and the CRDA binary is on a partition not availble
during early boot. In such a case we want to be able to
re-process the same request at some other point.
When we are asked to re-process the same request we need
to be careful to not kfree it, addresses that.
