[IEEE80211]: Fix softmac lockdep reports.
It seems I was actually able to hit this deadlock, on my quad G5 softmac locks up more often than not. This fixes it by using an own workqueue that can safely be flushed under RTNL. Not sure if the patch is correct with the workqueue naming. And don't think with the patch it doesn't continually lock up. It still does, just doesn't invoke lockdep warnings all the time.
