mac80211: fix modprobe deadlock by not calling wep_init under rtnl_lock
- ieee80211_wep_init(), which is called with rtnl_lock held, blocks in
request_module() [waiting for modprobe to load a crypto module].
- modprobe blocks in a call to flush_workqueue(), when it closes a TTY
[presumably when it exits].
- The workqueue item linkwatch_event() blocks on rtnl_lock.
There's no reason for wep_init() to be called with rtnl_lock held, so
just move it outside the critical section.
