Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.17 086/149] ath11k: Fix frames flush failure caused by deadlock

From: Baochen Qiang <quic_bqiang@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 261b07519518bd14cb168b287b17e1d195f8d0c8 ]

We are seeing below warnings:

kernel: [25393.301506] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to flush mgmt transmit queue 0
kernel: [25398.421509] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to flush mgmt transmit queue 0
kernel: [25398.421831] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: dropping mgmt frame for vdev 0, is_started 0

this means ath11k fails to flush mgmt. frames because wmi_mgmt_tx_work
has no chance to run in 5 seconds.

By setting /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs to 20 and increasing
ATH11K_FLUSH_TIMEOUT to 50 we get below warnings:

With above info the issue is clear: First wmi_mgmt_tx_work is inserted
to local->workqueue after sdata->work inserted, then wpa_supplicant
acquires wdev->mtx in nl80211_deauthenticate and finally calls
ath11k_mac_op_flush where it waits all mgmt. frames to be sent out by
wmi_mgmt_tx_work. Meanwhile, sdata->work is blocked by wdev->mtx in
ieee80211_sta_work, as a result wmi_mgmt_tx_work has no chance to run.

Change to use ab->workqueue instead of local->workqueue to fix this issue.
