From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 67dfa589aa8806c7959cbca2f4613b8d41c75a06 ] When probing a client, first check if we have it, and then check for the channel context, otherwise you can trigger the warning there easily by probing when the AP isn't even started yet. Since a client existing means the AP is also operating, we can then keep the warning. Also simplify the moved code a bit.
