Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Cancel the dynamic ps timer in ioctl_siwpower.

If the dynamic power save timer has been started before the power save
is disabled using iwconfig, we fail to cancel the timer. Hence cancel it
while disabling power save.

Always good to speak-up, since sometimes (as in this case) it might
not have been sent upstream yet! :-)
