staging: ath6kl: Fix a kernel panic during suspend/resume
The kernel panic happens when we try to complete a pending
scan request while going to suspend state. The cause for this
kernel panic is accessing a freed memory (ar->arWmin). This
is freed before ar6k_cfg80211_scanComplete_event() getting
called where it is dereferenced.
