staging: rtl8723bs: Fix access-point mode deadlock
Commit
54659ca026e5 ("staging: rtl8723bs: remove possible deadlock when
disconnect (v2)") split the locking of pxmitpriv->lock vs sleep_q/lock
into 2 locks in attempt to fix a lockdep reported issue with the locking
order of the sta_hash_lock vs pxmitpriv->lock.
But in the end this turned out to not fully solve the sta_hash_lock issue
so commit
a7ac783c338b ("staging: rtl8723bs: remove a second possible
deadlock") was added to fix this in another way.
The original fix was kept as it was still seen as a good thing to have,
but now it turns out that it creates a deadlock in access-point mode:

Analysis shows that in hindsight the splitting of the lock was not
a good idea, so revert this to fix the access-point mode deadlock.
Note this is a straight-forward revert done with git revert, the commented
out "/* spin_lock_bh(&psta_bmc->sleep_q.lock); */" lines were part of the
code before the reverted changes.
