When in the event handler of do_process_drv_event, an overlap is detected, it will cause GROUP-FORMATION-FAILURE and that will remove the group interface and then corresponding drv pointer from the list global->interfaces will also get removed. (code path wpas_p2p_group_delete->wpa_supplicant_remove_iface -> wpa_supplicant_deinit_iface -> wpa_drv_deinit ->wpa_driver_nl80211_deinit)

Thanks! I used the patch from Johannes (dl_list_for_each_safe) since it
looked like a more generic way to avoid the crash.
