wifi: ath11k: update channel list in worker when wait flag is set

commit 02aae8e upstream.

With previous patch "wifi: ath11k: move update channel list from update
reg worker to reg notifier", ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() will be
called during reg_process_self_managed_hint().

reg_process_self_managed_hint() will hold rtnl_lock all the time.
But ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() may increase the occupation time of
rtnl_lock, because when wait flag is set, wait_for_completion_timeout()
will be called during 11d/hw scan.

Should minimize the occupation time of rtnl_lock as much as possible
to avoid interfering with rest of the system. So move the update channel
list operation to a new worker, so that wait_for_completion_timeout()
won't be called and will not increase the occupation time of rtnl_lock.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3
