I found another crash when deleting lots of virtual stations
in a congested environment. I think the problem is that
the ieee80211_mlme_notify_scan_completed could call
ieee80211_restart_sta_timer for a stopped interface
that was about to be deleted.
With the following patch I am unable to reproduce the
crash.

v3: Just check for sdata-is-running once at top of method
instead of worrying about if it is associated or not.

I think this check should go to ieee80211_mlme_notify_scan_completed(),
and another one to ieee80211_mesh_notify_scan_completed(), IBSS already
has it.
