It is called right before local->ops->remove_interface() which means the
workqueue is flushed when it isn't even guaranteed that all interfaces are gone.

net/mac80211/main.c:553

static int ieee80211_stop(struct net_device *dev)
{
<snip>
  switch (sdata->vif.type) {
	case IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_MESH_POINT:
	case IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_STA:
	case IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_IBSS:
        <snip>
        flush_workqueue(local->hw.workqueue);
       <snip>
  }
<snip>
}
