Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: flush fw_dump_wk when mvm fails to start

From: Andrei Otcheretianski <[email protected]>

commit dbf73d4a8bb8f4e1d1f3edd3be825692279e2ef3 upstream.

FW dump may be triggered when running init ucode, for example due to a sysassert. In this case fw_dump_wk may run after mvm is freed, resulting in a kernel panic.
Fix it by flushing the work.

Fixes 01b988a708af ("iwlwifi: mvm: allow to collect debug data when restart is disabled")
