Piotr Figiel 5cdb0ef614 brcmfmac: fix NULL pointer derefence during USB disconnect
In case USB disconnect happens at the moment transmitting workqueue is in
progress the underlying interface may be gone causing a NULL pointer
dereference. Add synchronization of the workqueue destruction with the
detach implementation in core so that the transmitting workqueue is stopped
during detach before the interfaces are removed.

Fix following Oops:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
