Subject: mac80211: move roc cookie assignment earlier
From: Eliad Peller <eliad@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2f617435c3a6fe3f39efb9ae2baa77de2d6c97b8 upstream.
ieee80211_start_roc_work() might add a new roc
to existing roc, and tell cfg80211 it has already
started.
However, this might happen before the roc cookie
was set, resulting in REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL (started)
event with null cookie. Consequently, it can make
wpa_supplicant go out of sync.
Fix it by setting the roc cookie earlier.
