[PATCH] mac80211: fix fq lockdep warnings

Some lockdep assertions were not fulfilled and
resulted in a kernel warning/call trace if driver
used intermediate software queues (e.g. ath10k).

Existing code sequences should've guranteed safety
but it's always good to be extra careful.

The call trace could look like this:
