ath11k: add wait operation for tx management packets for flush from mac80211



In ath11k, tx of management packet is doing in a work queue. Sometimes
the workqueue does not finish tx immediately, then it lead after the next
step of vdev delete finished, it start to send the management packet to
firmware and lead firmware crash.

ieee80211_set_disassoc() have logic of ieee80211_flush_queues() after
it send_deauth_disassoc() to ath11k, its purpose is make sure the
deauth was actually sent, so it need to change ath11k to match the
purpose of mac80211.

To address these issue wait for tx mgmt as well as tx data packets.
