commit 63a02ce1c5c59baa40b99756492e3ec8d6b51483 upstream.

On unload, b43 produces a lockdep warning that can be summarized in the
following way:

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 3.8.0-wl+ #117 Not tainted
 -------------------------------------------------------
 modprobe/5557 is trying to acquire lock:
  ((&wl->firmware_load)){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81062160>] flush_work+0x0/0x2a0

 but task is already holding lock:
  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff813bd7d2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20

 which lock already depends on the new lock.
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 ======================================================

The full output is available at http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.3/00060.html.
To summarize, commit 6b6fa58 added a 'cancel_work_sync(&wl->firmware_load)'
call in the wrong place.

The fix is to move the cancel_work_sync() call to b43_bcma_remove() and
b43_ssb_remove(). Thanks to Johannes Berg and Michael Buesch for help in
diagnosing the log output.
