Subject: [PATCH 6.0 278/862] wifi: mt76: sdio: fix the deadlock caused by sdio->stat_work

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@...iatek.com>

[ Upstream commit e5d78fd998be94fb459a3d625df7367849b997b8 ]

Because wake_work and sdio->stat_work share the same workqueue mt76->wq,
if sdio->stat_work cannot acquire the mutex lock such as that was possibly
held up by [mt7615, mt7921]_mutex_acquire. Additionally, if
[mt7615, mt7921]_mutex_acquire was called by sdio->stat_work self, the wake
would be blocked by itself. Thus, we move the stat_work into
ieee80211_workqueue instead to break the deadlock.
