3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> commit 79845c662eeb95c9a180b9bd0d3ad848ee65b94c upstream. Since rdev->sched_scan_req is dereferenced outside the lock protecting it, this might be done at the wrong time, causing crashes. Move the dereference to where it should be - inside the RTNL locked section.
