[ Upstream commit bdc1bbdbaa92df19a14d4c1902088c8432b46c6f ]
The assoc_timer takes the pmlmepriv->lock and various functions which take the pmlmepriv->scanned_queue.lock first take the pmlmepriv->lock, this means that we cannot have code which waits for the timer (timer_del_sync) while holding the pmlmepriv->scanned_queue.lock to avoid a triangle deadlock:

Make rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle() release the scanned_queue.lock before it deletes the timer to avoid this (it is still holding pmlmepriv->lock protecting against racing the timer).
