mac80211: Fix kernel panic due to use of txq after free
The txq of vif is added to active_txqs list for ATF TXQ scheduling in the function ieee80211_queue_skb(), but it was not properly removed before freeing the txq object. It was causing use after free of the txq objects from the active_txqs list, result was kernel panic due to invalid memory access. Fix kernel invalid memory access by properly removing txq object from active_txqs list before free the object.
