SubjectRE: [ 099/171 ] mwifiex: fix race when queuing commands

The patch 099/171 and 100/171 (mwifiex: skip pending commands after function shutdown) are intended for 3.8 to solve a race issue found on XO-4 platform.

For 3.7 and lower kernel versions, these patches are not verified.
I'd suggest do not merge them to 3.6.11.x to avoid potential side effects.

Later, if we get a user report of the same problem on 3.6, we can verify these patches on his/her platform and add these patches back.

Thanks,
Bing
