It's harder than thought, runs into the next use of flush_scheduled_work
under rtnl. I think the only solution is to go with your patch and then
add an own single-threaded workqueue to softmac again and use that
everywhere instead of the global one; at least that way the rtnl doesn't
get into the way.
