[ Upstream commit b817047ae70c0bd67b677b65d0d69d72cd6e9728 ]
Race condition is observed during rmmod of mwifiex_usb:
1. The rmmod thread will call mwifiex_usb_disconnect(), download SHUTDOWN command and do wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), waiting for response.
2. The main thread will handle the response and will do a wake_up_interruptible(), unblocking rmmod thread.
3. On getting unblocked, rmmod thread will make rx_cmd.urb = NULL in mwifiex_usb_free().
4. The main thread will try to resubmit rx_cmd.urb in mwifiex_usb_submit_rx_urb(), which is NULL.
To fix, wait for main thread to complete before calling mwifiex_usb_free().
