[PATCH] mac80211: Remove vdevs from driver when firmware is unrecoverable.

[PATCH] mac80211: Remove vdevs from driver when firmware is unrecoverable.

[greearb]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

While testing ax200 (backport version hacked into a 5.4 kernel),
I noticed a KASAN use-after-free.  I think this is because the
old logic would clear the SDATA_IN_DRIVER flag without actually
removing it from the driver.  Then a bit later, the driver would
try to access some sdata memory.

So instead, tell the driver to remove the vdevs.  The kernel still
splats a lot of warnings in this case, but I did not see a KASAN
error and the system recovered and continued running on the remaining
radio (the one w/out fatal firmware error).
