[PATCH 4.9 13/30] wifi: mac80211: Fix UAF in ieee80211_scan_rx()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Siddh Raman Pant <code@siddh.me>

[ Upstream commit 60deb9f10eec5c6a20252ed36238b55d8b614a2c ]

ieee80211_scan_rx() tries to access scan_req->flags after a
null check, but a UAF is observed when the scan is completed
and __ieee80211_scan_completed() executes, which then calls
cfg80211_scan_done() leading to the freeing of scan_req.

Since scan_req is rcu_dereference()'d, prevent the racing in
__ieee80211_scan_completed() by ensuring that from mac80211's
POV it is no longer accessed from an RCU read critical section
before we call cfg80211_scan_done().
