rtl8187: fix circular locking (rtl8187_stop/rtl8187_work)

Larry Finger reports following lockdep warning:

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.31-rc6-wl #201
-------------------------------------------------------
rfkill/30578 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&priv->work)->work#2){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81051215>]
__cancel_work_timer+0xd9/0x222

but task is already holding lock:
 (&priv->conf_mutex#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa064a024>]
rtl8187_stop+0x31/0x364 [rtl8187]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&priv->conf_mutex#2){+.+.+.}:
       [<ffffffff81065957>] __lock_acquire+0x12d0/0x1614

       [<ffffffff8105124e>] __cancel_work_timer+0x112/0x222
       [<ffffffff8105136b>] cancel_delayed_work_sync+0xd/0xf
       [<ffffffffa064a33f>] rtl8187_stop+0x34c/0x364 [rtl8187]

       [<ffffffffa01d9fa7>] cfg80211_rfkill_set_block+0x4a/0x7a [cfg80211]

       [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

The problem here is that rtl8187_stop, while helding priv->conf_mutex,
runs cancel_delayed_work_sync on an workqueue that runs rtl8187_work,
which also takes priv->conf_mutex lock. Move cancel_delayed_work_sync
out of rtl8187_stop priv->conf_mutex locking region.
