If user misconfigures ingress and causes a redirection loop, don't
overwhelm the log. This is also a error case so make it unlikely.

The other calls to kmalloc in the same function use GFP_ATOMIC, and indeed
two locks are held within the body of the function.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

Some features require knowing the DTIM period
before associating. This implements the ability
to wait for a beacon in mac80211 before assoc
to provide this value. It is optional since
most likely not all drivers will need this.

For some drivers it can be useful to know whether the channel they're
supposed to switch to is going to be used for short off-channel work or
scanning, or whether the hardware is expected to stay on it for a while
longer. This is important for various kinds of calibration work, which
takes longer to complete and should keep some persistent state, even if
the channel temporarily changes.

This reverts this commit. While in theory the change is
correct the patch does not address current assumptions made
by some drivers, one which is definitley affected is ath9k.
Prior to this change the scan complete callback would be
called after we returned to the home channel and configured
the hardware RX filters. After this change we call the scan
complete callback prior to both the hw config and the config
filter. At least for ath9k this breaks quite a few assumptions
on the callback, leading to disconnects to the AP after every scan
making the driver pretty useless on STA mode. The goal behind
this commit was to address the now understood spurious warnings
from ath9k and mac80211_hwsim on scanning on two wiphys at the
same time but we have now supressed these and will address this
issue in the next kernel release.
When fixing this for good next we must first review the other
driver's dependence on this logic and perhaps consider removal
of the scan complete callback all together.

Key locking simplification removed key->sdata != NULL verification from
ieee80211_key_free(). While that is fine for most use cases, there is one
path where this function can be called with an unlinked key (i.e.,
key->sdata == NULL && key->local == NULL). This results in a NULL pointer
dereference with the current implementation. This is known to happen at
least with FT protocol when wpa_supplicant tries to configure the key
before association.
Avoid the issue by passing in the local pointer to
ieee80211_key_free(). In addition, do not clear the key from hw_accel
or debugfs if it has not yet been added. At least the hw_accel one could
trigger another NULL pointer dereference.
