From: Vasyl Vavrychuk <vasyl.vavrychuk@globallogic.com>

commit a1881c9b8a1edef0a5ae1d5c1b61406fe3402114 upstream.

Otherwise if network manager starts configuring Wi-Fi interface
immidiatelly after getting notification of its creation, we will get
NULL pointer dereference:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
  IP: [<ffffffff95ae94c8>] hrtimer_active+0x28/0x50
  ...
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff95ae9997>] ? hrtimer_try_to_cancel+0x27/0x110
   [<ffffffff95ae9a95>] ? hrtimer_cancel+0x15/0x20
   [<ffffffffc0803bf0>] ? mac80211_hwsim_config+0x140/0x1c0 [mac80211_hwsim]
