JB TsaiandFelix Fietkau 98c13eb564 wifi: mt76: mt7925: Fix unregister deadlock
During device shutdown or removal, a deadlock can occur between the
PCIe remove path and the driver's asynchronous reset work.

The unregistration path calls napi_disable() before cancelling the
reset work. If the reset work runs concurrently, it may re-enable NAPI
and schedule it. Because the device is being unregistered, this can
lead to NAPI state corruption where NAPI is marked as scheduled but
never polled, causing subsequent napi_disable() calls to hang forever.

Fix this by:
1. Moving cancel_work_sync(&dev->reset_work) to the very start of
   mt7925e_unregister_device(), ensuring it is stopped before NAPI
   is disabled.
2. Setting the MT76_REMOVED flag early in the PCI remove path to
   prevent new reset work from being queued.
3. Checking MT76_REMOVED in mt7925_mac_reset_work() and aborting the
   reset early if the device is being removed.
