2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: John W. Linville <linville(a)tuxdriver.com>

commit c937019761a758f2749b1f3a032b7a91fb044753 upstream.

While mesh_rx_plink_frame holds sta->lock...

mesh_rx_plink_frame ->
mesh_plink_inc_estab_count ->
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify

....but ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is allowed to sleep. A driver
taking advantage of that allowance can cause a scheduling while
atomic bug. Similar paths exist for mesh_plink_dec_estab_count,
so work around those as well.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16099

Also, correct a minor kerneldoc comment error (mismatched function names).
