Subject: wcn36xx: Don't use the destroyed hal_mutex

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@linaro.org>


[ Upstream commit d53628882255481b710641dd0118fbd80af6e983 ]

ieee80211_unregister_hw() might invoke operations to stop the interface,
that uses the hal_mutex. So don't destroy it until after we're done
using it.
