ath10k: avoid possible deadlock with scan timeout

Browse Source 
This should prevent deadlock predicted by the
following splat:

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 3.17.0-wl-ath+ #67 Not tainted
 -------------------------------------------------------
 kworker/u32:1/7230 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&ar->conf_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa040a57d>] ath10k_scan_timeout_work+0x2d/0x50 [ath10k_core]

 but task is already holding lock:
  ((&(&ar->scan.timeout)->work)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106dae1>] process_one_work+0x151/0x470

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        ----                    ----
   lock((&(&ar->scan.timeout)->work));

                                lock((&(&ar->scan.timeout)->work));
   lock(&ar->conf_mutex);
