Eliad Peller 4a58e7c384 cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scans
___cfg80211_scan_done() can be called in some cases
(e.g. on NETDEV_DOWN) before the low level driver
notified scan completion (which is indicated by
passing leak=true).

Clearing rdev->scan_req in this case is buggy, as
scan_done_wk might have already being queued/running
(and can't be flushed as it takes rtnl()).

If a new scan will be requested at this stage, the
scan_done_wk will try freeing it (instead of the
previous scan), and this will later result in
a use after free.

Simply remove the "leak" option, and replace it with
a standard WARN_ON.

An example backtrace after such crash:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffee5
pgd = c0004000
[fffffee5] *pgd=9fdf6821, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000
