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]
