Subject: mwifiex: sdio: fix use after free issue for save_adapter
From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@xxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 74c8719b8ee0922593a5cbec0bd6127d86d8a2f4 ]
If we have sdio work requests received when sdio card reset is
happening, we may end up accessing older save_adapter pointer
later which is already freed during card reset.
This patch solves the problem by cancelling those pending requests.
