[PATCH] ath11k: acquire ab->base_lock in unassign when finding the peer by addr

ath11k_peer_find_by_addr states via lockdep that ab->base_lock must be
held when calling that function in order to protect the list. All
callers except ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx have that lock
acquired when calling ath11k_peer_find_by_addr. That lock is also not
transitively held by a path towards ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx.
The solution is to acquire the lock when calling
ath11k_peer_find_by_addr inside ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx.
