+From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>
+
+I found another crash when deleting lots of virtual stations
+in a congested environment. I think the problem is that
+the ieee80211_mlme_notify_scan_completed could call
+ieee80211_restart_sta_timer for a stopped interface
+that was about to be deleted. Fix similar problem for
+mesh interfaces as well.
+
+Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>
+---
+v4: Fix up mesh as well, add check in calling code instead of
+ in the methods that mucks iwth the timers.
