ath10k: fix bug reported by lockdep

Browse Source 
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: [<ffffffffa0b99f00>] ath10k_remove_interface+0x40/0x290 [ath10k_core]
kernel: which lock already depends on the new lock.
