      rt2x00: fix a wrong parameter for __test_and_clear_bit() in rt2x00rfkill_free(). · e223b6dc

      When running modprobe rt73usb, and then rmmod rt73usb, and then
      iwconfig, the wlan0 device does not disappear. When repeating this
      process again, we get a kernel Oops errors and "BUG: unable to handle
      kernel paging request..." message in the kernel log.
      
      The reason for this is that there is an error in rt2x00rfkill_free(),
      which is called in the process of removing the device
      (rt2x00lib_remove_dev() in rt2x00dev.c).
      rt2x00rfkill_free() clears the RFKILL_STATE_ALLOCATED bit , which is
      bit number 1 () in rt2x00dev->flags instead of in
      rt2x00dev->rfkill_state. As a result, when checking the
      DEVICE_STATE_REGISTERED_HW bit (bit number 1 in rt2x00dev->flags) in
      rt2x00lib_remove_hw() it is **unset**, and we wrongly **don't** call
      ieee80211_unregister_hw().
      
      This patch corrects this: the parameter for __test_and_clear_bit() in
      rt2x00rfkill_free() should be &rt2x00dev->rfkill_state and not
      &rt2x00dev->flags.
