Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: fix setting channel in monitor mode

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 1c4abec0baf25ffb92a28cc99d4231feeaa4d3f3 upstream.

There was a deadlock in monitor mode when we were setting the
channel if the channel was not 1.

iw/3323 is trying to acquire lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &local->chanctx_mtx --> &mvm->mutex --> &local->iflist_mtx

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&local->iflist_mtx);
                               lock(&mvm->mutex);
                               lock(&local->iflist_mtx);
  lock(&local->chanctx_mtx);
