mwifiex: fix system freeze while reloading driver

Unload sequence for mwifiex PCIE driver is as follows:
1. Invoking cleanup module from kernel results into
   pci_unregister_driver
2. Kernel invokes PCIE remove() handler which disconnects all
   interfaces.
3. One step during disconnect is to clean PCIE TX rings.
   During this we read txbd_rdptr from FW.

While loading driver next time, we see pci_enable_device()
results into system freeze. This may have happened because we
accessed PCI device after unregistering from bus driver.
Removing this ioread() operation resolves this bug.
