ath9k: Fix locking issue during tx completion
The received tx status of aggregated frame without BlockAck may cause deaf state in AR5416 cards. So the driver does a reset to recover. When this happens, we release the pcu_lock before doing a reset as ath_rest acquires pcu_lock. This is ugly and also not atomic. Fixing this addresses the TX DMA failure also. ath_tx_complete_aggr can be called from different paths which takes different variants of spin_lock. This patch also addresses the following warning.
