This patches does not modify any functionality. Just a code move
so that ath10k_vdev_stop() can be used in ath10k_vdev_start_restart()
for any failure cases which involves vdev_stop().

Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qti.qualcomm.com>

V2:
     - Call ath10k_vdev_stop() when ath10k_monitor_recalc() failed.
       This results in code move done in patch 1.

V3:
     - Make change specific to AP mode and update the commit log.

Ok. Sure, we can fix it when we have MCC change into the tree.

Right, this is much better.

Right, but we may not want to create any inconsistencies between *total_flags and actual
filters enabled in the driver?.

Thanks for the review.

No need. With the way ath10k_monitor_recalc() is called it makes sense
to rely on lockdep_assert_held(ar->conf_mutex) only.

The data_lock was just FYI.

See the "DOC: Frame filtering" in include/net/mac80211.h. ath10k
either always delivers frames IN_BSS (AP operation) or can be forced
to (via monitor vdev for STA/IBSS operation) so FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS
should never be cleared.

Your are right. We should not be clearing that flag as long as we support
that functionality in one or other way. Thanks.
