ar9170: wait for asynchronous firmware loading 

This patch fixes a regression introduced by the following patch:
"ar9170: load firmware asynchronously"

When we kick off a firmware loading request and then unbind,
or disconnect the usb device right away, we get into trouble:

- followed by a random Oops -

Avoid that by waiting for the firmware loading to finish
(whether successfully or not) before the unbind in
ar9170_usb_disconnect.
