wifi: ath12k: avoid deadlock by change ieee80211_queue_work for regd_update_work
Deadlock is easily happened while shutdown wlan interface such as run
"ifconfig wlan0 down".
The reason is because when ar->regd_update_work is ran, it will
call wiphy_lock(ar->hw->wiphy) in function ath12k_regd_update() which
is running in workqueue of ieee80211_local queued by ieee80211_queue_work().
Another thread from "ifconfig wlan0 down" will also accuqire the lock
by wiphy_lock(sdata->local->hw.wiphy) in function ieee80211_stop(), and
then it call ieee80211_stop_device() to flush_workqueue(local->workqueue),
this will wait the workqueue of ieee80211_local finished. Then deadlock
will happen easily if the two thread run meanwhile.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
