3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Sven Neumann <s.neumann@raumfeld.com>

commit a203c2aa4cefccb879c879b8e1cad1a09a679e55 upstream.

At the beginning of wiphy_update_regulatory() a check is performed
whether the request is to be ignored. Then the request is sent to
the driver nevertheless. This happens even if last_request points
to NULL, leading to a crash in the driver:

 [<bf01d864>] (lbs_set_11d_domain_info+0x28/0x1e4 [libertas]) from [<c03b714c>] (wiphy_update_regulatory+0x4d0/0x4f4)
 [<c03b714c>] (wiphy_update_regulatory+0x4d0/0x4f4) from [<c03b4008>] (wiphy_register+0x354/0x420)
 [<c03b4008>] (wiphy_register+0x354/0x420) from [<bf01b17c>] (lbs_cfg_register+0x80/0x164 [libertas])
 [<bf01b17c>] (lbs_cfg_register+0x80/0x164 [libertas]) from [<bf020e64>] (lbs_start_card+0x20/0x88 [libertas])
 [<bf020e64>] (lbs_start_card+0x20/0x88 [libertas]) from [<bf02cbd8>] (if_sdio_probe+0x898/0x9c0 [libertas_sdio])

Fix this by returning early. Also remove the out: label as it is
not any longer needed.
