Well, mostly that ath9k right now assumes it controls the lifetime, and
it won't do that afterwards, so since I didn't want to read all of the
code I failed to change it that way because I didn't know where node
pointers are kept. It's not a huge issue really, but the lifetime
management change is somewhat involved, I think.
