mac80211: fix associated vs. idle race
Eliad reports that if a scan finishes in the middle of processing associated (however it happens), the interface can go idle. This is because we set assoc_data to NULL before we set associated. Change the order so any idle check will find either one of them. Doing this requires duplicating the TX sync processing, but I already have a patch to delete that completely and will submit that as soon as my driver changes to no longer require it are submitted.
