mac80211: fix debugfs lockup

Browse Source 
When debugfs_create_dir fails, sta_info_debugfs_add_work will not
terminate because it will find the same station again and again.
This is possible whenever debugfs fails for whatever reason; one
reason is a race condition in mac80211, unfortunately we cannot
do much about it, so just document it, it just means some station
may be missing from debugfs.
