Currently ath11k_dp_peer_cleanup() acquires ab->base_lock inside itself. This is
working because it is only called in below context where that lock is not held:

	ath11k_mac_op_sta_state() --> ath11k_mac_station_remove()

In a upcoming patch that fixes memory leak in reset scenario, we need to do the
same job as ath11k_dp_peer_cleanup(). However ab->base_lock is already held there
so we can not directly call it.

So the decision is to move lock/unlock outside of ath11k_dp_peer_cleanup() such
that we won't get deadlock in a context where the lock is already held. In order
to make sure it is called with lock held, add LOCKDEP assertion there.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.30
