Do not use workqueue for bss_info_changed post association work.
When driver is notified of association the upper layer will be notified
right after that the association is complete. Doing the post association
work in a workqueue introduces a race condition where the upper layer may
want to make use of the association, but it is not yet complete.

This patch depends on "mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons
processed during scanning"
