wifi: mac80211: reset the LED state when ifup fails
When the first interface comes up, the radio LED is turned on. This can
start the TPT trigger timer, which continues running.
But if bringing up the interface fails then the timer keeps running and
won't be stopped by anything, eventually it can be freed:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: ffff888127e12130 object type: timer list hint: tpt trig timer+0x0/0x300 net/mac80211/led.c:145
