wifi: ath11k: fix connection failure due to unexpected peer delete

Currently ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx() deletes peer but
ath11k_mac_op_assign_vif_chanctx() doesn't create it. This results in
connection failure if MAC80211 calls drv_unassign_vif_chanctx() and
drv_assign_vif_chanctx() during AUTH and ASSOC, see below log:

The peer delete logic in ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx() is
introduced by commit b4a0f541 ("ath11k: move peer delete after
vdev stop of station for QCA6390 and WCN6855") to fix firmware
crash issue caused by unexpected vdev stop/peer delete sequence.

Actually for a STA interface peer should be deleted in
ath11k_mac_op_sta_state() when STA's state changes from
IEEE80211_STA_NONE to IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST, which also coincides
with current peer creation design that peer is created during
IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST -> IEEE80211_STA_NONE transition. So move
peer delete back to ath11k_mac_op_sta_state(), also stop vdev before
deleting peer to fix the firmware crash issue mentioned there. In
this way the connection failure mentioned here is also fixed.
