Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] net: wwan: t7xx: fix GFP_KERNEL usage in spin_lock context

t7xx_cldma_clear_rxq() call t7xx_cldma_alloc_and_map_skb() in spin_lock
context, But __dev_alloc_skb() in t7xx_cldma_alloc_and_map_skb() uses
GFP_KERNEL, that will introduce scheduling factor in spin_lock context.

Because t7xx_cldma_clear_rxq() is called after stopping CLDMA, so we can
remove the spin_lock from t7xx_cldma_clear_rxq().

Fixes: 39d439047f1d ("net: wwan: t7xx: Add control DMA interface")
