commit a56f992cdabc63f56b4b142885deebebf936ff76 upstream.

This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the
timer from running while the module is being removed when we
only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync().

The timer should normally not be running at this point, but
it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

Do not scan on no-IBSS and disabled channels in IBSS mode. Doing this can trigger Microcode errors on iwlwifi and iwlegacy drivers.

The check whether the IBSS is active and can be removed should be performed before deinitializing the fields used for the check/search. Otherwise, the configured BSS will not be found and removed properly. To make it more clear for the future, rename sdata->u.ibss to the local pointer ifibss which is used within the checks.
