Subject: [PATCH 5.1 061/138] mac80211: do not start any work during reconfigure flow

[ Upstream commit f8891461a277ec0afc493fd30cd975a38048a038 ]

It is not a good idea to try to perform any work (e.g. send an auth
frame) during reconfigure flow.

Prevent this from happening, and at the end of the reconfigure flow
requeue all the works.
