+    mac80211: fix two remote exploits
+    
+    Lennert Buytenhek noticed a remotely triggerable problem
+    in mac80211, which is due to some code shuffling I did
+    that ended up changing the order in which things were
+    done -- this was in
+    
+      commit d75636ef9c1af224f1097941879d5a8db7cd04e5

+        mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
+    
+    The problem is that the BUG_ON moved before the various
+    checks, and as such can be triggered.
+    
+    As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since
+    the ampdu_action callback must already exist when the
+    state is OPERATIONAL.
+    
+    A similar code path leads to a WARN_ON in
+    ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session, which can also be removed.
