mac80211: avoid races related to suspend flow When we go to suspend, there is complex set of states that avoids races. The quiescing variable is set whlie __ieee80211_suspend is running. Then suspended is set. The code makes sure there is no window without any of these flags. The problem is that workers can still be enqueued while we are quiescing. This leads to situations where the driver is already suspending and other flows like disassociation are handled by a worker. To fix this, we need to check quiescing and suspended flags in the worker itself and not only before enqueueing it. I also add here extensive documentation to ease the understanding of these complex issues.
