Subject: cfg80211: scan: drop entry from hidden_list on overflow
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 010bfbe768f7ecc876ffba92db30432de4997e2a upstream.
If we overflow the maximum number of BSS entries and free the
new entry, drop it from any hidden_list that it may have been
added to in the code above or in cfg80211_combine_bsses().
