Hang Zhang a54e9166e7 cw1200: Revert unnecessary patches that fix unreal use-after-free bugs 
[ Upstream commit 3f60f4685699aa6006e58e424637e8e413e0a94d ]

A previous commit 4f68ef64cd ("cw1200: Fix concurrency
use-after-free bugs in cw1200_hw_scan()") tried to fix a seemingly
use-after-free bug between cw1200_bss_info_changed() and
cw1200_hw_scan(), where the former frees a sk_buff pointed
to by frame.skb, and the latter accesses the sk_buff
pointed to by frame.skb. However, this issue should be a
false alarm because:

(1) "frame.skb" is not a shared variable between the above
two functions, because "frame" is a local function variable,
each of the two functions has its own local "frame" - they
just happen to have the same variable name.

(2) the sk_buff(s) pointed to by these two "frame.skb" are
also two different object instances, they are individually
allocated by different dev_alloc_skb() within the two above
functions. To free one object instance will not invalidate
the access of another different one.

Based on these facts, the previous commit should be unnecessary.
Moreover, it also introduced a missing unlock which was
addressed in a subsequent commit 51c8d24101 ("cw1200: fix missing
unlock on error in cw1200_hw_scan()"). Now that the
original use-after-free is unreal, these two commits should
be reverted. This patch performs the reversion.

Fixes: 51c8d24101 ("cw1200: fix missing unlock on error in cw1200_hw_scan()")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
