staging: rtl8192e: Remove mutex from rtllib_softmac_free()

Browse Source 
The following commands use the mutex ieee->wx_mutex:
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ieee->associate_retry_wq)
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ieee->associate_procedure_wq)
cancel_work_sync(&ieee->wx_sync_scan_wq)
Therefore they cannot be canceled with ieee->wx_mutex locked. As the
work functions are executed time shifted during normal operation of the
driver, proper locking can only be done inside the functions.
