mac80211: fix a crash in ieee80211_beacon_get_tim on change_interface
Some drivers (e.g. ath9k) do not always disable beacons when they're supposed to. When an interface is changed using the change_interface op, the mode specific sdata part is in an undefined state and trying to get a beacon at this point can produce weird crashes. To fix this, add a check for ieee80211_sdata_running before using anything from the sdata. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.
