wlcore: fixes for connection_loss_work
We can't use cancel_delayed_work_sync() from functions that take the wl->mutex, since connection_loss_work also takes the mutex. This might result in a deadlock. Restructure the code so the work is synchronously canceled before taking the mutex. Avoid a bug where we would indefinitely delay the connection loss indication by re-queuing the connection loss work on consecutive beacon loss events.
