[PATCH v2 1/2] wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix race condition in PTP removal

iwl_mvm_ptp_remove() calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() only after
ptp_clock_unregister() and clearing ptp_data state (ptp_clock,
ptp_clock_info, last_gp2).
This creates a race where the delayed work iwl_mvm_ptp_work() can
execute between ptp_clock_unregister() and cancel_delayed_work_sync(),
observing partially cleared PTP state.
Move cancel_delayed_work_sync() before ptp_clock_unregister() to
ensure the delayed work is fully stopped before any PTP cleanup
begins.
Fixes: 1595ecce1cf3 ("wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: add support for PTP HW clock (PHC)")
