at76c50x-usb: avoid mutex deadlock in at76_dwork_hw_scan
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13312
at76_dwork_hw_scan holds a mutex while calling ieee80211_scan_completed,
which then calls at76_config which needs the same mutex. This reworks
the ordering to not hold the lock while calling ieee80211_scan_completed.
