[PATCH 2.6.38-rc8-wl 1/1] orinoco: Clear dangling pointer on hardware busy

[armadefuego]

On hardware busy the scan request pointer should be cleared, as higher
levels will release. This avoids a crash when that pointer is
erroneously used later.

When the hardware is busy the error is propagated to higher levels on
the stack. Those layers release the buffer. Therefore the copy of the
pointer must be erased. Otherwise subsequent events checking this pointer
may crash.
