Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: mac80211: check for station first in client probe<br />
<br />
When probing a client, first check if we have it, and then<br />
check for the channel context, otherwise you can trigger<br />
the warning there easily by probing when the AP isn&#39;t even<br />
started yet. Since a client existing means the AP is also<br />
operating, we can then keep the warning.<br />
<br />
Also simplify the moved code a bit.
