wifi: mac80211: flush the station before moving it to UN-AUTHORIZED state
We first want to flush the station to make sure we no longer have any frames being Tx by the station before the station is moved to un-authorized state. Failing to do that will lead to races: a frame may be sent after the station's state has been changed. Since the API clearly states that the driver can't fail the sta_state() transition down the list of state, we can easily flush the station first, and only then call the driver's sta_state().
