wifi: ath12k: Fix WARN_ON during firmware crash in split-phy



Whenever firmware is crashed in split-phy below WARN_ON() triggered:

The warning in question is from drv_stop():

	if (WARN_ON(!local->started))
		return;

The sequence of WARN_ON() is:
Thread 1:
-Firmware crash calls ath12k_core_reset().
-Call ieee80211_restart_hw() inside
 ath12k_core_post_reconfigure_recovery() which schedules worker
 for both hardware.
-Wait for completion of ab->recovery_start.

Thread 2 (worker thread):
-One hardware acquires rtnl_lock() inside ieee80211_restart_hw() and
 calls ath12k_mac_wait_reconfigure() into ath12k_mac_op_start().
-Hardware is waiting for ab->reconfigure_complete but at this time
 recovery_start_count value is 1 because another worker thread
 (local->restart_work) is still waiting for rtnl_lock().
 recovery_start_count is not equal to number of radios
 (2 in split-phy). So ab->recovery_start complete does not set
 due to this, thread 1 is still waiting and not able to perform
 hif power down up and firmware reload.
-Wait timeout happens for ab->reconfigure_complete and comeback
 to caller (ath12k_mac_op_start()) and sends WMI command to
 crashed firmware and gets error.
-This returns error to drv_start() and local->started is set to false.
-Hardware calls cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces() after receiving error
 inside ieee80211_restart_work() and goes to drv_stop(), here we trigger
 WARN_ON as local->started is false.

To fix this issue call ieee80211_restart_hw() after firmware has been
reloaded. Now, each hardware can send WMI command to firmware
successfully. With this fix we don't need to wait for
ab->recovery_start completion so remove
ath12k_mac_wait_reconfigure().
