4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Amitkumar Karwar <akar...@marvell.com>
commit c8ccf3ade7851054f82bf88f5fcd393a394038a3 upstream.
Recent patch "mwifiex: fix NULL pointer" skips extended scan event
handling when suspend is in progress. It created a problem for scan
after interface disabled/enabled case.
This patch solves the problem by checking netif_running() status.
Fixes:16d25da94f3d654 ("mwifiex: fix NULL pointer dereference during suspend")
