ath9k: Fix potential interrupt storm on queue reset

In tests with two Lima boards from 8devices (QCA4531 based) on OpenWrt
19.07 we could force a silent restart of a device with no serial
output when we were sending a high amount of UDP traffic (iperf3 at 80
MBit/s in both directions from external hosts, saturating the wifi and
causing a load of about 4.5 to 6) and were then triggering an
ath9k_queue_reset().

Further debugging showed that the restart was caused by the ath79
watchdog. With disabled watchdog we could observe that the device was
constantly going into ath_isr() interrupt handler and was returning
early after the ATH_OP_HW_RESET flag test, without clearing any
interrupts. Even though ath9k_queue_reset() calls
ath9k_hw_kill_interrupts().

With JTAG we could observe the following race condition:

1) ath9k_queue_reset()
   ...
   -> ath9k_hw_kill_interrupts()
   -> set_bit(ATH_OP_HW_RESET, &common->op_flags);
   ...
   <- returns

      2) ath9k_tasklet()
         ...
         -> ath9k_hw_resume_interrupts()
         ...
         <- returns

                 3) loops around:
                    ...
                    handle_int()
                    -> ath_isr()
                       ...
                       -> if (test_bit(ATH_OP_HW_RESET,
                                       &common->op_flags))
                            return IRQ_HANDLED;

                    x) ath_reset_internal():
                       => never reached <=

And in ath_isr() we would typically see the following interrupts /
interrupt causes:

* status: 0x00111030 or 0x00110030
* async_cause: 2 (AR_INTR_MAC_IPQ)
* sync_cause: 0

So the ath9k_tasklet() reenables the ath9k interrupts
through ath9k_hw_resume_interrupts() which ath9k_queue_reset() had just
disabled. And ath_isr() then keeps firing because it returns IRQ_HANDLED
without actually clearing the interrupt.

To fix this IRQ storm also clear/disable the interrupts again when we
are in reset state.
