drivers: staging: rtl8192u: Fix deadlock in ieee80211_beacons_stop()
There is a deadlock in ieee80211_beacons_stop(), which is shown below:
   (Thread 1)              |      (Thread 2)
                           | ieee80211_send_beacon()
ieee80211_beacons_stop()   |  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) |  (wait a time)
 ...                       | ieee80211_send_beacon_cb()
 del_timer_sync()          |  spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)      |  ...
We hold ieee->beacon_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need ieee->beacon_lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, ieee80211_beacons_stop() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
