[ Upstream commit 77cfaf52eca5cac30ed029507e0cab065f888995 ]
The TXQ teardown code can reference the vif data structures that are stored in the netdev private memory area if there are still packets on the queue when it is being freed. Since the TXQ teardown code is run after the netdevs are freed, this can lead to a use-after-free. Fix this by moving the TXQ teardown code to earlier in ieee80211_unregister_hw().
