When device is running and the interface status is changed, the gpf issue
is triggered. The problem triggering process is as follows:
Thread A:                           Thread B
ieee80211_runtime_change_iftype()   process_one_work()
    ...                                 ...
    ieee80211_do_stop()                 ...
    ...                                 ...
        sdata->bss = NULL               ...
        ...                             ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
                                            ieee80211_multicast_to_unicast
                                    //!sdata->bss->multicast_to_unicast
                                      cause gpf issue

When the interface status is changed, the sending queue continues to send
packets. After the bss is set to NULL, the bss is accessed. As a result,
this causes a general-protection-fault issue.

The following is the stack information:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
