6.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miri Korenblit <miriam.rachel.korenblit@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 72d520476a2fab6f3489e8388ab524985d6c4b90 ]
A wiphy_work can be queued from the moment the wiphy is allocated and
initialized (i.e. wiphy_new_nm). When a wiphy_work is queued, the
rdev::wiphy_work is getting queued.
If wiphy_free is called before the rdev::wiphy_work had a chance to run,
the wiphy memory will be freed, and then when it eventally gets to run
it'll use invalid memory.
Fix this by canceling the work before freeing the wiphy.
Fixes: a3ee4dc84c4e ("wifi: cfg80211: add a work abstraction with special semantics")
