Subject: [PATCH 5.11 468/601] mt76: reduce q->lock hold time

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@....name>

[ Upstream commit 2fbcdb4386dda0a911b5485b33468540716251f8 ]

Instead of holding it for the duration of an entire station schedule run,
which can block out competing tasks for a significant amount of time,
only hold it for scheduling one batch of packets for one station.
Improves responsiveness under load
