mwifiex: fix race when queuing commands
commit 00d7ea11ff0783e24fe70778f3141270b561aaa1 upstream. Running the following script repeatedly on XO-4 with SD8787 produces command timeout and system lockup. insmod mwifiex_sdio.ko sleep 1 ifconfig eth0 up iwlist eth0 scan & sleep 0.5 rmmod mwifiex_sdio mwifiex_send_cmd_async() is called for sync as well as async commands. (mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() internally calls it for sync command.) "adapter->cmd_queued" gets filled inside mwifiex_send_cmd_async() routine for both types of commands. But it is used only for sync commands in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete(). This could lead to a race when two threads try to queue a sync command with another sync/async command simultaneously. Get rid of global variable and pass command node as a parameter to mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() to fix the problem.
