[ Upstream commit a7ac783c338bafc04d3259600646350dba989043 ]
Lockdep complains about rtw_free_assoc_resources() taking the sta_hash_lock
followed by it calling rtw_free_stainfo() which takes xmitpriv->lock.
While the rtl8723bs_xmit_thread takes the sta_hash_lock while already
holding the xmitpriv->lock:

*** DEADLOCK ***
Push the taking of sta_hash_lock down into rtw_free_stainfo(),
where the critical section is, this allows taking the lock after
rtw_free_stainfo() has released pxmitpriv->lock.
This requires changing rtw_free_all_stainfo() so that it does its freeing
in 2 steps, first moving all stainfo-s to free to a local list while
holding the sta_hash_lock and then walking that list to call
rtw_free_stainfo() on them without holding the sta_hash_lock.
Pushing the taking of sta_hash_lock down into rtw_free_stainfo(),
also fixes a whole bunch of callers of rtw_free_stainfo() which
were not holding that lock even though they should.
Note that this also fixes the deadlock from the "remove possible
deadlock when disconnect" patch in a different way. But the
changes from that patch offer a nice locking cleanup regardless.
