ath10k_tx_wep_key_work() acquires conf_mutex, so
cancelling it when conf_mutex is already taken
in ath10k_remove_interface() is incorrect, so
move it outside the lock.
Snippet from the lockdep report:
kernel: ======================================================
kernel: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
kernel: 3.18.0-rc5-wl-debug #34 Tainted: G O
kernel: -------------------------------------------------------
kernel: hostapd/451 is trying to acquire lock:
kernel: ((&arvif->wep_key_work)){+.+...}, at: [<
ffffffff810872d5>] flush_work+0x5/0x290
kernel: but task is already holding lock:
kernel: (&ar->conf_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<

kernel: which lock already depends on the new lock.
