[PATCH v3 1/2] cfg80211: fix regulatory restore upon user hints

["Luis R. Rodriguez" <lrodriguez@atheros.com>]

When we restore regulatory settings its possible CRDA
will not reply because of a bogus user entry. In this
case the bogus entry will prevent any further processing
on cfg80211 for regulatory domains even if we restore
regulatory settings.

To prevent this we suck out all pending requests when
restoring regulatory settings and add them back into the
queue after we have queued up the reset work.

The impact of not having this applied is that a user
with privileges can issue a userspace regulatory hint
while we are disasocciating and this would prevent any
further processing of regulatory domains.

John, since this doesn't kill any kittens I didn't mark this
as stable but I'll leave it to you to decide, I tried to describe
the impact as best as possible. Let me know if you have any
questions.
