This appears to be a legitimate lockdep (when trying to re-connect to
an AP whose password I just changed).
These take the locks in reverse order:

ieee80211_work_work() -> ieee80211_authenticate() (Inlined in the
lockdep print).
ieee80211_sta_rx_queued_mgmt() -> ieee80211_rx_mgmt_disassoc()

I don't know the state machine well enough and it's getting kind of
late here. I'll probably have time to take a closer look in a couple
of days (unless Johannes finds this one trivial).
