Subject: [ 38/89] ath9k: add a better fix for the rx tasklet vs rx flush race

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>

commit 7fc00a3054b70b1794c2d64db703eb467ad0365c upstream.

Ensure that the rx tasklet is no longer running when entering the reset path.
Also remove the distinction between flush and no-flush frame processing.
If a frame has been received and ACKed by the hardware, the stack needs to see
it, so that the BA receive window does not go out of sync.
