    LinuxKPI: 802.11: fix problem removing sta
    
    Move the call to lkpi_disassoc() before the state change to
    IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST which will remove the sta (from firmware).
    Based on a comment it seems that originally we had to do it the
    other way round.
    iwlwifi(4) has a check and will silently not remove the sta from
    the firmware when vif->cfg.assoc is still set (see iwl_mvm_sta_del()).
    This leads to the LinuxKPI 802.11 code thinking the sta is gone as
    downward state changes by the mac80211 op (*sta_state)() may not fail.
    Once we try to assoc with a newly added station later, iwlwifi firmware
    will run into an assert having two ap_sta set on the same vif.
    We can observe that problem in iwlwifi(4) having __le32 sta_id = 1
    instead of sta_id = 0 in iwl_mvm_sta_cfg_cmd{} on the HCMD.
    
    This should fix one of the most seen problems with iwlwifi(4), e.g.,
    when running service netif restart wlan0 or
    service wpa_supplicant restart wlan0.
