mac80211: delete work timer
The new workqueue changes helped me find this bug that's been lingering since the changes to the work processing in mac80211 -- the work timer is never deleted properly. Do that to avoid having it fire after all data structures have been freed. It can't be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and won't have anything to do since all work items are gone by now (by way of interface removal).
