wl1251: fix crash on remove due to leftover work item
commit 4c1bcdb5a3354b250b82a67549f57ac27a3bb85f upstream. This driver currently leaves elp_work behind when stopping, which occasionally results in data corruption because work function ends up accessing freed memory, typical symptoms of this are various worker_thread crashes. Fix it by cancelling elp_work. Signed-off-by: Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
