iwlwifi: mvm: fix a race in CSA that caused assert 0x3420
When we get a channel switch with a very long quiet period, we schedule a work to disconnect after a while. This work runs in background. In the meanwhile, we keep getting beacons and sending FW modify command for each. This has a potential race, where we modify the CSA after we aborted it. Protect the flow by setting csa_failed to true in case we abort, and check it before sending the modify command. This required a modification to the way we treat csa_failed in iwl_mvm_post_channel_switch: 1. The variable isn't being reset anymore, so we can still look at it in iwl_mvm_channel_switch_rx_beacon. This is fine, since we reset it when starting a new CSA. 2. There is no more early return in case of csa_failed. This is fine, since before this patch csa_failed was set only for GO, and for GO the function is only resetting the power settings, which we want to restore even in case of failure.
