mac80211: fix IBSS teardown race
Ignacy reports that sometimes after leaving an IBSS joining a new one didn't work because there still were stations on the list. He fixed it by flushing stations when attempting to join a new IBSS, but this shouldn't be happening in the first case. When I looked into it I saw a race condition in teardown that could cause stations to be added after flush, and thus cause this situation. Ignacy confirms that after applying my patch he hasn't seen this happen again.
