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

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 74401773f80b6d42f7a4c6994ca0cca883b03745 upstream.

When cleaning up beacon buffers and slots, ath9k currently checks if
sc->ah->opmode is set to a beacon related mode before cleaning up
buffers.
An unfortunate ordering of interface up/down commands can lead to
sc->ah->opmode being set to monitor mode, while there are AP interfaces
present on the same wiphy.
Always cleaning up beacon buffers if present fixes this issue.
