b43: Fix lockdep splat on module unload
On unload, b43 produces a lockdep warning that can be summarized in the
following way:
======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.8.0-wl+ #117 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
modprobe/5557 is trying to acquire lock:
((&wl->firmware_load)){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81062160>] flush_work+0x0/0x2a0
but task is already holding lock:
(rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff813bd7d2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20
which lock already depends on the new lock.
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
======================================================
The full output is available at http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.3/00060.html.
To summarize, commit 6b6fa58 added a 'cancel_work_sync(&wl->firmware_load)'
call in the wrong place.
The fix is to move the cancel_work_sync() call to b43_bcma_remove() and
b43_ssb_remove(). Thanks to Johannes Berg and Michael Buesch for help in
diagnosing the log output.
