wifi: mac80211: flush the station before moving it to UN-AUTHORIZED state

[ Upstream commit 43e04077170799d0e6289f3e928f727e401b3d79 ]

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().
