Subject: [PATCH] net/wireless/sme: sched_scan_mtx lock in cfg80211_conn_work()

Introduced in f9f475292dbb0e7035fb6661d1524761ea0888d9

cfg80211_conn_scan() which requires sched_scan_mtx to be held can be called
from cfg80211_conn_work(). Without this we are hitting multiple warnings like
the following:

Applied, thanks. I guess I need to add

iw wlan0 scan trigger ; iw wlan0 connect -w NO_SUCH_SSID

to my tests ...

When referencing commits, always provide the commit message header
line, in parenthesis and double quotes, so that it is unambiguous.

Otherwise, when changes are backported into -stable trees, the commit
ID changes and the commit in question can no longer be indentified
easily for the reader.
