Subject: mac80211: clear subdir_stations when removing debugfs
From: Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu>
commit 4479004e6409087d1b4986881dc98c6c15dffb28 upstream.
If we don't do this, and we then fail to recreate the debugfs
directory during a mode change, then we will fail later trying
to add stations to this now bogus directory:
