wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: remove stale STA link data during restart

Browse source

If pre-recovery mac80211 tried to disable a link but this disablement
failed, then there might be a mismatch between mac80211 assuming the
link has been disabled and the driver still having the data around.
During recover itself, that is not a problem, but should the link be
activated again at a later point, iwlwifi will refuse the activation as
it detects the inconsistent state.

Solve this corner-case by iterating the station in the restart cleanup
handler.
