The dialog token allocator has apparently been broken
since b83f4e15 ("mac80211: fix deadlock in sta->lock")
because it got moved out under the spinlock. Fix it.

Seems like a low-impact change ... could be backported to almost every
stable tree out there I guess since it was broken almost exactly three
years ago ... but does it matter? I guess not.
