ath10k_drain_tx() must not be called with conf_mutex held as workers can use that also. Add call to lockdep_assert_not_held() on conf_mutex to detect if conf_mutex is held by the caller.
The idea for this patch stemmed from coming across the comment block above the ath10k_drain_tx() while reviewing the conf_mutex holds during to debug the conf_mutex lock assert in ath10k_debug_fw_stats_request(). Adding detection to assert on conf_mutex hold will help detect incorrect usages that could lead to locking problems when async worker routines try to call this routine.
