staging: ath6kl: Fix a kernel panic during suspend/resume The kernel panic happens when we try to complete a pending scan request while going to suspend state. The cause for this kernel panic is accessing a freed memory (ar->arWmin). This is freed before ar6k_cfg80211_scanComplete_event() getting called where it is dereferenced.
