After disabling interrupts, it's possible irq & tasklet is pending or running
This patch eleminates races for down iwlwifi

Since synchronize_irq can introduce iwl_irq_tasklet, tasklet_kill
should be called after doing synchronize_irq
To avoid races between iwl_synchronize_irq and iwl_irq_tasklet STATUS_INT_ENABLED
flag is needed.
