Miaoqing Pan 07246c1158 ath9k: fix an invalid pointer dereference in ath9k_rng_stop()
The bug was triggered when do suspend/resuming continuously
on Dell XPS L322X/0PJHXN version 9333 (2013) with kernel
4.12.0-041200rc4-generic. But can't reproduce on DELL
E5440 + AR9300 PCIE chips.

The warning is caused by accessing invalid pointer sc->rng_task.
sc->rng_task is not be cleared after kthread_stop(sc->rng_task)
be called in ath9k_rng_stop(). Because the kthread is stopped
before ath9k_rng_kthread() be scheduled.

So set sc->rng_task to null after kthread_stop(sc->rng_task) to
resolve this issue.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
