From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> iwl_mvm_tx_mpdu() may run from iwl_mvm_add_new_dqa_stream_wk(), where soft-IRQs aren't disabled. In this case, it may hold the station lock and be interrupted by a soft-IRQ that also wants to acquire said lock, leading to a deadlock.
Fix it by disabling soft-IRQs in iwl_mvm_add_new_dqa_stream_wk().
