[PATCH 6.12.y v3 3/3] wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix potential deadlock in mt7921_roc_abort_sync

[Ajrat Makhmutov <rauty@altlinux.org>]

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@mediatek.com>

commit d5059e52fd8bc624ec4255c9fa01a266513d126b upstream.

roc_abort_sync() can deadlock with roc_work(). roc_work() holds
dev->mt76.mutex, while cancel_work_sync() waits for roc_work()
to finish. If the caller already owns the same mutex, both
sides block and no progress is possible.

This deadlock can occur during station removal when
mt76_sta_state() -> mt76_sta_remove() -> mt7921_mac_sta_remove() ->
mt7921_roc_abort_sync() invokes cancel_work_sync() while
roc_work() is still running and holding dev->mt76.mutex.

This avoids the mutex deadlock and preserves exactly-once
work ownership.

v2: drop redundant "cherry picked from" trailer; tag the 6.12.y
    adaptation note as [Ajrat] and add backporter Signed-off-by. No code change.
v3: add cover letter with upstream/stable references; mark target 6.12.y.
