Lockdep reports that we may deadlock because we take the RTNL on
the work struct, but flush it under RTNL. Clearly, it's correct.
In practice, this can happen when doing rfkill on an active device.
Fix this by moving the work struct to the wiphy (registered dev)
layer, and iterate over all the wdevs inside there. This then
means we need to track which one of them has work to do, so we
don't update to the driver for all wdevs all the time.
Also fix a locking bug I noticed while working on this - the
registrations list is iterated as if it was an RCU list, but it
isn't handle that way - and we need to lock now for the update
flag anyway, so remove the RCU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
