mwifiex: don't short-circuit netdev notifiers on interface deletion
When we leave the delete interface function, there are still netdev hooks that might try to process the device. We're short-circuiting some of that by changing the interface type and clearing ieee80211_ptr. This means we skip NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL in cfg80211. Fortunately, that is currently a no-op. We don't need most of the cleanup here anyway: * the connection state will get (un)set as part of the disconnect process (which cfg80211 already initiates for us) * the interface type doesn't actually need to be cleared at all (it'll trigger a WARN_ON() in cfg80211 if we do) * the iee80211_ptr isn't really "ours" to clear anyway So stop resetting those 3 things.
