cfg80211: Acquire wiphy mutex on regulatory work
[ Upstream commit e08ebd6d7b90ae81f21425ca39136f5b2272580f ]
The function cfg80211_reg_can_beacon_relax() expects wiphy
mutex to be held when it is being called. However, when
reg_leave_invalid_chans() is called the mutex is not held.
Fix it by acquiring the lock before calling the function.
