From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx> wfx_remove_interface() and wfx_configure_filter() can be run concurrently. Therefore, this patch protect access to the list of interfaces from wfx_configure_filter(). Notice that wfx_configure_filter() now lock "conf_lock" and "scan_lock". Beside that, wfx_hw_scan_work() also access to the same locks. So we have to lock them in same order to avoid any deadlock.
