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 non-associated interface
that was about to be deleted.

With the following patch I am unable to reproduce the
crash.

this some more.
