mwifiex: re-register wiphy across reset



In general, it's helpful to use the same code for device removal as for
device reset, as this tends to have fewer bugs. Let's move the wiphy
unregistration code into the common reset and removal code.

In particular, it's very hard to properly handle the reset sequence when
something fails. Currently, if mwifiex_reinit_sw() fails, we've failed
to unregister the associated wiphy, and so running something as simple
as "iw phy" can trigger an OOPS, as the wiphy still has hooks back into
freed mwifiex data structures. For example, KASAN complained:

This all goes away if we just tear down the wiphy on the way down, and
set it back up if/when we bring the device back up.
