ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.
This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid()
uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211.
As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion
of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not
be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the
kernel warning message.
Pasted the kernel warning message for reference.
