cfg80211: fix potential deadlock in regulatory
reg_timeout_work() calls restore_regulatory_settings() which
takes cfg80211_mutex.
reg_set_request_processed() already holds cfg80211_mutex
before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(reg_timeout),
so it might deadlock.
Call the async cancel_delayed_work instead, in order
to avoid the potential deadlock.
This is the relevant lockdep warning:
