Subject: [PATCH net] mac802154: move flush and destroy workqueue

While transmit over a at86rf231 device which use the mac802154 stack and
unloading the module I got:

The problem is that we use a workqueue on xmit which is already destroyed by
ieee802154_unregister_device. This patch stops the transmit of packets
before flush and destroy the workqueue which is used by the mac802154
transmit workflow.
