mwifiex: inform cfg80211 about disconnect if device is removed
If device is surprise removed, commands sent to FW including deauthenticate command fail as bus writes fail. We update our media_connected status to false and inform cfg80211 about disconnection only when command is successful. Since cfg80211 assumes device is still connected, it results into following WARN_ON during unload: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 18245 at net/wireless/core.c:937 cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call+0x175/0x4d0 [cfg80211]() Avoid this by emitting cfg80211_disconnected event even if the deauthenticate command fails.
