6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit d5fee261dfd9e17b08b1df8471ac5d5736070917 upstream.
When we free wdev->cqm_config when unregistering, we also
need to clear out the pointer since the same wdev/netdev
may get re-registered in another network namespace, then
destroyed later, running this code again, which results in
a double-free.
