3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Felix Fietkau <n...@openwrt.org>
commit 4668cce527acb3bd048c5e6c99b157a14b214671 upstream.
Fixes a reported CPU soft lockup where the tasklet tries to acquire the
lock and blocks while ath_prepare_reset (holding the lock) waits for it
to complete.
