ath9k: add locking for starting the PCU on RX
There was some locking for starting some parts of RX but not for starting the PCU. Include this otherwise we can content against stopping the PCU. This can potentially lead to races against different buffers on the PCU which can lead to to the DMA RX engine writing to buffers which are already freed. This is part of a series that will help resolve the bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14624 For more details about this issue refer to: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=128629803703756&w=2 Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Cc: Kyungwan Nam <kyungwan.nam@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
