wifi: rtw89: avoid circular locking dependency in ser_state_run()
[ Upstream commit 570f94511766f9236d3462dfb8a3c719c2b54c23 ]
Lockdep gives a splat [1] when ser_hdl_work item is executed. It is
scheduled at mac80211 workqueue via ieee80211_queue_work() and takes a
wiphy lock inside. However, this workqueue can be flushed when e.g.
closing the interface and wiphy lock is already taken in that case.
Choosing wiphy_work_queue() for SER is likely not suitable. Back on to
the global workqueue.
