Subject: mac80211: fix misplaced while instead of if
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5981fe5b0529ba25d95f37d7faa434183ad618c5 upstream.
This never was intended to be a 'while' loop, it should've
just been an 'if' instead of 'while'. Fix this.
I noticed this while applying another patch from Ben that
intended to fix a busy loop at this spot.
