wlan: Prevent potential race condition during adapter access
Currently in the driver, there is a possiblity of a race condition between hdd_wlan_suspend and del_virtual_interface. In hdd_wlan_suspend, the driver iterates over all the adapters and performs designated action for each. During the process of iteration, there is no lock to prevent race conditions. In the scenario when a del_virtual_interface comes while this iteration is in progress, it can happen that the adapter is cleared in the del_virtual interface path and the same is tried to be accessed in the hdd_wlan_suspend. To avoid this possible scenario, lock the iteration with dev_hold which prevents the unregistration of the netdev. Also call hdd_deinit_adapter in the del_interface path which clears the timer that is responsible for calling the suspend call. Change-Id: Iebf68287c38c8babb0d91b4a11d4d01d53ae8ddc CRs-Fixed: 2512741
