wifi: ath11k: avoid deadlock during regulatory update in ath11k_regd_update()

Running this test in a loop it is easy to reproduce an rtnl deadlock:

iw reg set FI
ifconfig wlan0 down

What happens is that thread A (workqueue) tries to update the regulatory:

    try to acquire the rtnl_lock of ar->regd_update_work

    rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20
    ath11k_regd_update+0x15a/0x260 [ath11k]
    ath11k_regd_update_work+0x15/0x20 [ath11k]
    process_one_work+0x228/0x670
    worker_thread+0x4d/0x440
    kthread+0x16d/0x1b0
    ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

And thread B (ifconfig) tries to stop the interface:

    try to cancel_work_sync(&ar->regd_update_work) in ath11k_mac_op_stop().
    ifconfig  3109 [003]  2414.232506: probe:

    ath11k_mac_op_stop: (ffffffffc14187a0)
    drv_stop+0x30 ([mac80211])
    ieee80211_do_stop+0x5d2 ([mac80211])

    devinet_ioctl+0x5e3 ([kernel.kallsyms])
    inet_ioctl+0x197 ([kernel.kallsyms])
    sock_do_ioctl+0x4d ([kernel.kallsyms])
    sock_ioctl+0x264 ([kernel.kallsyms])
    __x64_sys_ioctl+0x92 ([kernel.kallsyms])
    do_syscall_64+0x3a ([kernel.kallsyms])
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63 ([kernel.kallsyms])
    __GI___ioctl+0x7 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so)

The sequence of deadlock is:

1. Thread B calls rtnl_lock().

2. Thread A starts to run and calls rtnl_lock() from within
   ath11k_regd_update_work(), then enters wait state because the lock is owned by
   thread B.

3. Thread B continues to run and tries to call
   cancel_work_sync(&ar->regd_update_work), but thread A is in
   ath11k_regd_update_work() waiting for rtnl_lock(). So cancel_work_sync()
   forever waits for ath11k_regd_update_work() to finish and we have a deadlock.

Fix this by switching from using regulatory_set_wiphy_regd_sync() to
regulatory_set_wiphy_regd(). Now cfg80211 will schedule another workqueue which
handles the locking on it's own. So the ath11k workqueue can simply exit without
taking any locks, avoiding the deadlock.
