Felix Fietkau ab6abc9713 wifi: mt76: fix scan work requeue race with spinlock
Prevent mt76_scan_rx_beacon() in softirq from requeuing scan_work
after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns in mt76_abort_scan(). Without
synchronization, the beacon handler can observe beacon_wait as true
and requeue scan_work between the cancel and the memset in
mt76_scan_complete(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference when
scan_work runs against zeroed scan state.

Introduce scan_lock (placed outside the scan struct to survive the
memset) to make the beacon handler's check-and-queue atomic with
respect to abort_scan's clear of beacon_wait. This eliminates the
race with a single cancel_delayed_work_sync() call.
