wifi: brcmfmac: fix lost 802.1x TX completion wakeup
brcmf_txfinalize() decrements pend_8021x_cnt before a lockless
waitqueue_active() check. atomic_dec() does not order the decrement
against the check.
The waiter can therefore observe a nonzero count while the waker observes
an empty queue, losing the final wakeup and delaying key installation
until the 950 ms timeout.
Add smp_mb__after_atomic() to order the decrement before the queue
check. wait_event_timeout() provides the matching barrier. LKMM confirms
that this forbids the lost-wakeup outcome.
Fixes: 21fff75d2fb6 ("brcmfmac: use wait_event_timeout for 8021x pending count")
