Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.7 002/274] ath10k: Fix the race condition in firmware dump work queue

From: Maharaja Kennadyrajan <mkenna@...eaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit 3d1c60460fb2823a19ead9e6ec8f184dd7271aa7 ]

There is a race condition, when the user writes 'hw-restart' and
'hard' in the simulate_fw_crash debugfs file without any delay.
In the above scenario, the firmware dump work queue(scheduled by
'hard') should be handled gracefully, while the target is in the
'hw-restart'.

Tested HW: QCA9984
Tested FW: 10.4-3.9.0.2-00044
