This looks a little odd, but doesn't really matter.

Why schedule out here and all the complexity with that? Seems pointless,
just pass the gfp through to nl80211?
Also, this changes the APIs again. Do you think you could collect the
API changes into a separate patch and combine them in nl80211/cfg80211?
