ieee80211_scan_rx() tries to access scan_req->flags after a null check (see line 303 of mac80211/scan.c), but ___cfg80211_scan_done() uses kfree() on the scan_req (see line 991 of wireless/scan.c). This results in a UAF. ieee80211_scan_rx() is called inside a RCU read-critical section initiated by ieee80211_rx_napi() (see line 5043 of mac80211/rx.c). Thus, add an rcu_head to the scan_req struct so as to use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() so that we don't free during the critical section.
