[patch 08/71] cfg80211: fix refcount leak

[Greg KH]

2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2dce4c2b5f0b43bd25bf9ea6ded06b7f8a54c91f upstream.

The code in cfg80211's cfg80211_bss_update erroneously
grabs a reference to the BSS, which means that it will
never be freed.
