mac80211: Add netif state checking to ieee80211_ifa_changed
There's a window for ieee80211_ifa_changed() to get called whilst the managed mode mutex has not been initialized when opening and stopping the interface. Currently this causes a kernel BUG like the following: [ 132.460013] kernel BUG at /home/wifi/iwlwifi-2.6/net/mac80211/main.c:380! [ 132.460013] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP The mutex is initialized during open(), hence once netif_running() is true, the mutex should be valid. Fix by adding a netif_running() check to the function.
