ath11k: avoid deadlock by change ieee80211_queue_work for regd_update_work

When enable debug config, it print below warning while shut down wlan
interface shuh as run "ifconfig wlan0 down".

The reason is because ar->regd_update_work is ran once, and it is will
call wiphy_lock(ar->hw->wiphy) in function ath11k_regd_update() which
is running in workqueue of ieee80211_local queued by ieee80211_queue_work().
Another thread from "ifconfig wlan0 down" will also accuqire the lock
by wiphy_lock(sdata->local->hw.wiphy) in function ieee80211_stop(), and
then it call ieee80211_stop_device() to flush_workqueue(local->workqueue),
this will wait the workqueue of ieee80211_local finished. Then deadlock
will happen easily if the two thread run meanwhile.

Below warning disappeared after this change.
