Subject: ath9k_htc: Handle pending URBs properly
From: Sujith Manoharan <[email protected]>
commit ff8f59b5bbdf1527235b8c88d859c7d23691324f upstream.
When doing a channel change, the pending URBs have to be killed
properly on calling htc_stop().
This fixes the probe response timeout seen when sending UDP traffic at
a high rate and running background scan at the same time.
