From: Du Cheng <ducheng2@xxxxxxxxx> commit 1b5ab825d9acc0f27d2f25c6252f3526832a9626 upstream. A WARN_ON(wdev->conn) would trigger in cfg80211_sme_connect(), if multiple send_msg(NL80211_CMD_CONNECT) system calls are made from the userland, which should be anticipated and handled by the wireless driver. Remove this WARN_ON() to prevent kernel panic if kernel is configured to "panic_on_warn". Bug reported by syzbot.
