wifi: mac80211: change disassoc sequence a bit
Currently, the sequence goes like this (among others):
1. flush all stations (including the AP ones) -> this will tell the
drivers to remove the stations
2. notify the driver the vif is not associated.
Which means that in between 1 and 2, the state is that the vif is
associated, but there is no AP station, which makes no sense, and may be
problematic for some drivers (for example iwlwifi)
Change the sequence to:
1. flush the TDLS stations
2. move the AP station to IEEE80211_STA_NONE
3. notify the driver about the vif being unassociated
4. flush the AP station
In order to not break other drivers, add a vif flag to indicate whether
the driver wants to new sequence or not. If the flag is not set, then
things will be done in the old sequence.
